IBM Connect 2016 OGS is 2 1/2 hours long
Tags :ibmconnect lotusphere
For those headed to IBM Connect 2016 prepare yourself for the Opening General Session that shows up as 2 1/2 hours long with a 45 minute break in the middle.
The normal time runs much like the first session listed above at an hour and half. But this extra hour with no sessions and a break seems rather confusing. I am guessing we all leave the main conference hall for 45 minutes and then file back in for another large session. Here is what is supposed to be included in each session slot.
In our opening General Session, Jason Silva, host of National Geographic's Brain Games, will set the stage by describing the potential to extend collaboration with technologies like cognitive computing, ultimately changing the way we work and live. John Hernandez will then illustrate how IBM plans to bring these future capabilities to your business as he shares his vision of an Engaged Enterprise. Following John, hear the inspirational story of how East African entrepreneurs have been empowered through the use of IBM collaboration and cloud technology to create a fair trade climate and we wrap the session by recognizing the next generation of business leaders as John chats with the winners of the university collaboration challenge.
This is followed up after the break with part two
Join us as we dive deeper into the future of work. This day in the life demonstration will show you the capabilities and future concepts that will make the future of work more effective and enjoyable for you, your teams and your customers. We will explore and demonstrate new innovations including personal insights, a preview of our personal assistant powered by Watson, our vision for a persistent workplace for small teams, our open strategy for supporting Box and Exchange and our cognitive advancements to improve your employees and customers digital experience. Join us and see first hand where IBM will take you in the future!
That also seems to be a lot of content they want to share. We only hope for a lot of live product demo and no panels. Thoughts?
