Well the news came out at ILUG that the second UK Lotus User Group conference is coming. The big idea behind UKLUG is to foster networking between IBM Lotus customers and the conference is a great way to do just that.
Last year was the first ever UKLUG conference so it was conservatively sized for about 100 attendees. Well all those seats were taken with a further 100+ people waitlisted. Kevin Cavanaugh, IBM Lotus VP Messaging & Software, kindly provided the keynote and there were some great speakers from companies using IBM Lotus software - including Prudential, S&N, Standard Life and the Salvation Army - talking about their experiences.
Following last year's success (and after listening to feedback from people who came along) the conference has moved to a Central London venue - the Church House Conference Centre next to Westminster Abbey - and has increased its capacity. There will be the same focus on IBM Lotus users, that's what a user group is all about, but its also now been lengthened to two days to allow more content. So UKLUG will be on both Thursday 18th and Friday 19th September.
To find out more and and register for your seat at UKLUG just go to http://www.uklug.info
Its been said that the true strength of a user group is our shared participation so if you want to be involved, or speak, or sponsor at the conference then please get in touch with Warren Elsmore - warren.elsmore(at)besystems.eu - who is coordinating that side of things.
