As always, we will deal with your specific questions and implementations, even if the topic is not on the list. Our expert speakers deal with so many implementation and programming situations that we likely have materials and examples available! Just let us know when you register or onsite if you would like a particular topic covered. We'll either work it in, or work with you one-on-one!


Nowhere will you find more focused, in-depth sessions on Lotus Quickr, Sametime and their underlying technologies and companion products delivered by industry experts. With new versions of each product out in 2010, this year means plenty of brand-new content!

"Lots of in-depth hands-on knowledge was conveyed during the last few days. I found it a good thing that partners were giving the majority of the presentations."

Approach...This year, Collaboration University has the latest technical and strategy content for everyone. We're kicking off the conference with a level-set on the new 8.5 versions of Quickr (Domino) and Sametime, then will immediately dive deep into each. Instead of ending with strategy sessions this year, we're going to deliver cross-product knowledge for both developers and administrators.

Identify...Your expert speakers will be available for all your questions - and we all know who is the best person to talk with on a topic of interest to you. Some speakers have deep expertise in areas outside their speaking topics, so this will help get you together.

Do...Some session materials are better when experienced. So, for some sessions we are delivering "on your own" exercises to conduct when you get home.

We hope you enjoy the new format and expanded content at Collaboration University 2010!
