There is about 3 weeks until IBM Connect\/Lotusphere will begin. This will be my 10 th. event, and I am looking forward as always.<\/p>\n
So now is the time to start planning what to do and how. I will leave on the 24. January, so the first couple of days I will shop, and get rid of some jetlag.<\/p>\n
Usually i go to Orlando Primium Outlets (Intnernational Drive and Vineland Ave), Florida Mall and Mall at Millenia.<\/p>\n
Btw. You can get at free voucher for Valet parking by going to http:\/\/www.orlandocoupons.com\/popup_print_coupons.php?cat_id=26&dir_id=116<\/p>\n
When the conference starts, I just hope I get to see all the things I want to. There will be new tracks this year.<\/p>\n
Track 04: Technology Overviews and “What Now?” Sessions
\nTrack 09: NEW! Spotlight on IBM Business Partners
\nTrack 08: Customer Case Studies (from an IT perspective) <\/p>\n
Read Gab’s Blog: http:\/\/www.turtleweb.com\/turtleblog.nsf\/dx\/17102012120119GDAEWA.htm<\/p>\n
All the usual track will of course be there, but I’am sure the new ones will give Connect\/Lotusphere a new look.<\/p>\n
Besides going to different sessions, i just want to mention a few other things\/sessions I like to see at the conference as well.<\/p>\n
