Sessions and Workshops

Collaboration University sessions are focused entirely on making you an immediate success back at the office. With real experience derived from hundreds of clients and millions of licensed seats, your speakers and facilitators will cover every imaginable aspect of the products you work with and care about.

March 13: Collaboration University 2009 has been announced! We're firming up the content for the 9th and 10th CU events this spring and summer, based on your feedback and the new product releases coming out of IBM Lotus.

For a sample of last year's agenda, click here.


As always, we will deal with your specific questions and implementations, even if the topic is not on the list. Our expert speakers deal with so many implementation and programming situations that we likely have materials and examples available! Just let us know when you arrive if you would like a particular topic covered. We'll either work it in, or work with you one-on-one!


Workshops

A Day Here or A Month at the Office?
For our optional workshops this year (Wednesday afternoon post-con), we're completely rewriting the popular post-conference workshops to deliver even more value. We're going to give you a month's experience in 3.5 hours! Developers and administrators alike will gain insights, work hands-on with the technology, and go home with an application of use to all.

Basically, we are presenting a real-life scenario that joins admins and developers together to deliver the kind of experience you would expect in a real life deployment. Make sure to register for a workshop WITH your conference registration for a $100 USD savings!

Nowhere will you find more focused, in-depth sessions on Lotus Quickr, Sametime and Connections delivered by industry experts. With new versions of each product out in 2009, this year means plenty of brand-new content!

"Lots of in-depth hands-on knowledge was conveyed during the last few days. I found it a good thing that partners were giving the majority of the presentations."
