This year’s IBM Forum has been well published and is getting a fair exposure via several kiwi blogs as well. IBM NZ’s marketing team has been hard at work planning and executing Forum activities for several months and today things are being put in place … quite literally. The IBM team is at the Michael Fowler Center in Wellington coordinating and trying to organise the chaos that seems to exist before any given major event in any universe.
The six PODs that im helping in are still being assembled and not wanting to get in the way at this stage, ive tucked myself near where the IBM technologies are stored for the moment and writing. There is a high expectation of quality from guests at any IBM event so fingers crossed the software/hardware setup for the demonstrations will go smoothly without any scratching of my head with exclamations of ‘it worked beautifully in the lab’.
Visit the published agenda for IBM Forum this year. There are some world class speakers (both from NZ businesses and from the IBM worldwide team) and some scintillating topics. I could go on, but best that you visit at either Welligton [11/08], Auckland [14/08] or Christchurch [19/08].
I shall try to keep my tweets updated and will publish the SecondLife SURL shortly. Right now I think I should go and lend a hand!
Those of you eager for a post from my experience at the IBM internal ‘Technical Leadership Exchange’ I apologise but you will have to wait as there is a mountain of work for me to climb before I am able to do some writing.
