Lotus Rock Star :: Collaboration University for Lotus Quickr, QuickPlace and Sametime

Category None

In case you are wondering, I wanted to make sure the IBM announcement was released first...originally I thought it would come a few weeks earlier, hence the wild blast of blog postings today! So I'm pleased to share the sessions list for Collaboration University for Lotus Quickr, QuickPlace and Sametime. Again the dates are:

July 9-11, Kansas City
Mike Rhodin, Keynote Address

July 18-20, London
Ken Bisconti, Keynote Address

As well we've lined up some awesome content with help from IBM and the partners who are producing the conference. David Marshak, Akiba Saeedi, Satwik Seshasai, Marc Pagnier, and Jelan Heidelberg are coming along to help out with the IBM perspective and we really appreciate their willingness to join this partner event!

80% of the Sametime content and 95% of the Lotus Quickr content is brand new! Here's our session breakdown:
