Lotusphere 2009 website is up, at least if you know the URL

September 3 2008

It appears to me that ibm.com/lotus/lotusphere is still going to the 2008 website, as is lotusphere.com, but if you know the URL, life is beautiful:

You can register, find out about sponsorships, submit abstract proposals, and view last year's opening session.  Nice site.

    Ed,

    I hate to sound like a neophyte, especially since I've been to 4 Lotushpere's now, but do you have a example of a well written abstract from the past?

    Hi George! I'm quite sure the abstracts turn into the actual session descriptions. I bet Google has a good cache of them if you want to take a look! ;-)

    Thanks Jess. I wasn't sure if these had to be a page or 2 long with agenda's and such....

    @1 abstracts are short, 75-100 words usually. Although the Birds of a fetaher abstracts has a 100-150 word guideline, go figure.

    Hi Ed, I tried your link and even copied and pasted the URL ({ Link } but the page heading shows "Lotusphere 2008" with the orange graphic below it containing "Lotusphere 2008 Opening General Session Webcast --> register now".

    Lotusphere.com resolves to the ../lotusphere2008 URL, but presents a "Our apologies, the page you requested cannot be displayed" error.

    Mike, you're right. It's like a half-website right now (the registration and track links on the left are correct). I'm not sure what happened. I'll flag it in a bit.

    Nice that they have a broadcast of the opening session...but as I was so upset that I missed the closing session and Alton Brown, I am more interested if anybody knows if there is a recording of that anywhere?

    I am planning to stay an extra day this time - at least one...

    Am I missing something, or didn't they used to email us with the registration announcement?

    @11 the main e-mail "blast" is coming next week.
