Keynote Session

Session Topic Abstract
The Best of the Lotusphere 2008: Direct from the 15th annual Lotusphere January event in Orlando, this keynote showcases how we at Lotus® software have accelerated our pace of innovation - and have more to announce than ever before! Look for the emergence of new ways to collaborate and tackle business challenges. As always, the opening session will be packed with demos - we will 'show as we go'. As the session progresses, a clear sense of the value of the IBM® Lotus software approach to technology will emerge. You'll see why collaboration is more important than ever in this rapid-changing marketplace, and how Lotus software is staying (far) ahead of these changes, as we continue to deliver on past promises enabling you with a host of new ways to work.
