IBM has provided some information on the IBM Connect 2016 Technical Labs. These labs have varied over the years and there is three this year.

You can view the full details right here at the conference site but here is a summary of each:

  • Meet the Developers Lab - One of my favorite places to track down those that make the product hum.  If you ever found that nagging issue and want to know if they can or will fix it, go here.  Or sometimes they even have the workaround in their head and show you hands on.  Check the schedule at the lab to find out when someone from each product works.
  • Design Studio Lab - the place to give input on the future of design development in the products.
  • Research Innovation Lab - apparently this will be the place to find cognitive this year.  I love visiting the lab to see the new toys each year.  However, they really restrict pictures and most of these are never made into full products.  Some have made the cut and other pieces may be used, but it is interesting to see what they make up when let loose.  I recall an awesome iOS calendar app years ago that never made the cut and I wish it had.
