It is getting to that time of year again - less than 6 months until Lotusphere comes around again - and thoughts turn to Orlando, Florida sun, yellow brethren and awesome Lotus content.  

Next stop along that track will be the opening of the Lotusphere 2010 registration site and the request for abstracts.  In previous years, the date has varied by as much as 7 weeks - from this week in August right through to early October:

Year Graphic Date registration opened (approx.)
2010 ?
2009 3 September
2008 14 August
2007 17 August
2006 18 August
2005 6 October


So folks, when will registration open for Lotusphere2010 open?

Leave a comment and let us know your best guess, or is that 'carefully calculated date'!?

    Monday, August 31, 2009 is my guess. Do we win free registration if our guess is correct? ;-)

    because in my world, the sentiment, financial/business situation, etc that go in to getting a yes/no decision vary alot day to day.

    I'd like to have asked a few weeks ago when I completed a well received project-I'd rather take a yes for LS2010 than a project bonus.

    So my hope is for today, my guess is end August.

    I've got a vintage (and only slightly used) SmartSuite tee-shirt I could offer to the winner!

    @LongLiveLotus I tend to agree - open registration the minute that the previous event closes would be a great idea.

    My guess? Tuesday, September 1st.

    We shall see!

    Well, registration being still closed has cost IBM $2000 and one attendee - me! We've just had a spending freeze imposed and it looks like this will be the first I miss for 12 years. Not a happy bunny at all - if anyone's got a spare (free!!) registration let me know...

    boo hoo
