Every year rumors and guesses circulate among the Lotus community as to who will be this year's Guest Speaker at the Lotusphere Opening Session. Many of us are still waiting for William Shatner to appear (it could be this year, we don’t know either)! But now you've got an edge thanks to Lotus GM, Bob Picciano. Just listen to the podcast of our interview with Bob and Alistair Rennie, VP Development at IBM/Lotus, for an exclusive hint on who it is. Plus they discuss:
- Some of the most important things Bob has learned from his interaction with the community
- A very detailed description of the objectives of the Lotus Knows campaign and results so far, like how many people it’s reaching, Web traffic details, and the secrets behind its success — including information about the technical community’s role
- A little sneak peek at some of the content they’ll roll out at Lotusphere 2010
- How Lotus plans to keep the momentum going in building the interest in Lotus software among younger, newer audiences. (plus, they hint at what part the University of Nebraska students who won Lotusphere IDOL last year will have in Lotusphere 2010)
- Some of their favorite aspects of Lotusphere
- How Lotusphere tackles the herculean task of keeping attendance strong while maintaining its status in the Lotus community as a valuable training resource.
- Some ROI information on justifying attending Lotusphere 2010 to your bosses.
- and a lot more
Plus, Bob and Alistair also put to rest one of the most nagging concerns of many long-time “yellow” loyalists with a very exciting discourse on what’s to be revealed at Lotsuphere 2010 regarding the Notes/Domino Roadmap.
