Announcement: Collaboration University 2008!
Category NoneThat's right alumni and friends, installations seven and eight (can't believe it but it's true) of the highly focused, expert-led Collaboration University are being announced today. Right here, right now. Once again we're focused on IBM Lotus Quickr and Sametime, and we'll even be throwing in sessions on Lotus Connections, showing you how to integrate with the rest of the collaboration stack.
In just a few short years, Collaboration University has become one of the premier events in our industry by focusing each event on a selection of collaboration technologies, covering both administration and development with industry experts, and introducing the concept of rapid, progressive immersion to maximize your training value.
So our big news this year is that we're moving to the "big city" - our US location is going to be in Chicago! Mark your calendars for September 8-10. And of course, we're repeating CU the following week - again in London, September 15-17 - at an all-new location. More information on locations (very cool locations I might add - think "not a hotel"!) and hotel selections will be posted to the website over the next couple weeks.
In 2006 and 2007 we collected your feedback and while you were very complimentary, we managed to think up some improvements for this year. For instance, we'll be assigning each attendee some "homework" over the summer - a group of introductory sessions that we'll deliver in advance to bring you up to speed. By doing this, we can start at a slightly more complex topic level on day one, and you can fit in 4-5 more sessions than our time together will allow. That's just one improvement in a list we're working on - so keep an eye on the blogs, be sure to visit the website and enter your info to be notified when registration opens. And just a note of thanks to all our alumni and speaker customers for your support - we'll be recognizing that in the registration process this year!
For the 4,000 of you already on my mailing list...don't worry, you'll hear about it plenty
And yes, I'll
throw in some news and technical tips to make the reading worth your time.

Seriously, we decided to move to Chicago for three reasons. First it's a transportation hub - a single flight for anyone. Second there's a lot to do there and a huge choice of accommodations. Third they have a particular kind of location we don't have in KC for the actual conference...TBA!
