Curious Mitch Goes to Chicago

QuickImage Category Collaboration University

In 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!

A preliminary list of the things he'll cover in the first session of two:

We're even setting up a lab - in both Chicago and London - so you can get hands-on experience with the product during the conference. IBMers and CU partner experts will be on hand to answer questions and discuss your own configuration options.

Gravatar Image1 - Glad to see that there are new sessions on Lotus Connections! This is will be a great exposure to the enterprise customers that don't have the time to keep up with all of the new tools in the Lotus brand.
