Curious Mitch Goes to Chicago
Category Collaboration UniversityIn the past year it's become pretty apparent that there's a guy out there who has significant experience with Lotus Connections in a real, corporate setting. As we were working on our Lotus Connections 2.0 content for Collaboration University, it became pretty clear that while the development lab stuff is pretty cool, it would be even more interesting to have some content based on real life.
So I'm pleased to announce that Mitch Cohen, a CU alumni no less, will be joining us in Chicago to share his experience and deliver a couple technical sessions with one of the partner presenters - designed to get you up and running in the most rapid fashion. We're very excited about having Mitch as an expert industry speaker who has been in the trenches and has lessons to share. And, no less proud that Mitch actually started blogging a year ago July while at Collaboration University 2007!
