The build-up to the Lotusphere Comes to You (LCTY) 2009 events in the UK continues apace...
First up, the keynote and guest speakers have been announced for the London and Manchester events as part of the full agenda.
Both events will be opened by Jamie Goodhead, Lotus Business Unit Executive (UK & Ireland).
Following this introduction, Bruce Morse, VP Unified Communications Software will deliver the 75-minute Keynotes Strategy session (as he did at LCTY08) followed by customer references.
After lunch, both events will split into two tracks, with the following sessions being delivered:
Track 1
LotusLive: Experience the Possibilities - Bob Wong, Director Worldwide Online Collaboration Services Sales
Social Software: Creating Value Today - Brendan Tutt, Portal & Social Networking Business Leader (UK & Ireland)
IBM UC2 Software: Immediately Reduce Costs and Unleash the Collaborative Power of Your Company - Brendan Buckingham, Lotus Technical Sales Manager
Track 2
Extending Collaboration - Darren Adams, Messaging and Collaboration Business Leader (UK & Ireland)
Development Evolved - XPages, Mashups and Contextual Collaboration - Chris Freestone, Senior Lotus Technical Specialist
The Futures Bright… The Future's Yellow, whatever your flavour of desktop - Pete Hampton, Competitive Technical Specialist, Lotus Software,(UK & Ireland) and Ray Davies, Technical Lotus Sales Specialist
Both events will close with a guest speaker and drinks reception.
I am delighted that the former Formula One driver and BBC commentator, Martin Brundle will be the guest at the London event on 30 April - Martin is hugely respected amongst the motorsport community and this should be a really exciting end to that event
The Manchester session on 28th April will have comedian, writer and producer Barry Cryer as the guest speaker - Barry is well known in the UK for his appearances on TV and radio comedy programs including Countdown, Blankety Blank, What’s My Line, Give Us A Clue, Just a Minute etc.
There are now over 500 attendees registered for these two events so if you want to attend you'll need to register soon! All the details and registration links are over on the UK LCTY page.
In addition, we are delighted that there will now be a LCTY event in Scotland this year - 28th May 2009 at the Caledonian Hotel in Edinburgh. Not only that, but this extra event will have Ed Brill as the keynote speaker - a real coup for the Lotus community in Scotland! The Caledonian is a lovely traditional venue right in the centre of Edinburgh so I am sure this will be a sell-out event - more details will be released soon.
