LotusKnows you must be on speed for Lotusphere


Tags :


Apparently a new trend is not to take your time and enjoy speaking one on one with the actual folks who make Lotus products and the business partners that can make it work for you, but to rush quickly along.  No time to banter.  Say what you want quickly and get out of the way.  I present to you the speed sessions for Lotusphere

  • SpeedGeeking - an annual event where the Best Practices speakers get together in a very loud and rapid spit in your face version of some tip or tool.  You grab a free drink and run quickly to the next pedestal at the buzzer where you are hit yet again.  Tons of fun and a must see.  I have done a couple of these and you really do wear the speakers out as they present the same topic 12 times in quick fashion, resetting their demo between drinks, I mean breaths.
  • SpeedPartnering - This is a new event on Business Development Day (BDD) where business partners get together to see some marketing sessions and topics around better partnering.  The event will be Sunday evening right before the party.  The idea is to move around in six-minute conversations to find the perfect mate for your product.  Yes free drinks will be here also.
  • Speed Networking - This title was under the above also, but it slightly different in my eyes.  You are not only trying to see who you can work with for ISV and other business needs, but to make more contacts socially in the business partner community.  Did I mention the free drinks?

There are some regular sessions that will also show you quick and easy ways to get things done or how to make your server and application faster.  DO a quick search and highlight those on your schedule.
