Where to find me at Lotusphere 2012
January 8 2012
In many respects, even a week out, the answer is still "I don't know yet".
I only have two public sessions at Lotusphere 2012: The Messaging and Collaboration Strategy session on Monday the 16th at 2:15 PM in the Dolphin North Hemisphere ballrooms, and hosting Ask the Product Managers on Thursday the 19th at 11:15 in the Swan ballrooms. Everything else on that calendar is individual meetings, press interviews, analyst connections, or behind-the-scenes staff activity. Sure, in the evenings, I'll be around, but otherwise, looking after what are now four product lines -- even with the awesome teams of product and offering managers -- is going to keep me very busy this year. And even though that calendar looks pretty busy, it's still not finished -- I know there are several more meetings that will land on those free blocks on Tuesday and Wednesday very soon. I want to make it to some other sessions and birds-of-a-feather -- this week I'll post some suggestions on don't-miss breakouts from my teams and our development counterparts -- but it's going to be a lot of miles on those walking shoes to get to all the things I want to over the full five days.
More importantly, I want to meet all of you. Every single year, I hit that closing session on Thursday afternoon and wonder, how come I didn't meet ____ this week? Let's not let that happen this time. Be sure to say hi during the welcome reception, a trip through the product showcase, at Kimono's, or even at the closing session. It isn't worth the trip if all I do is those 30-some things you see on my calendar above. It's the chance encounter, the hallway conversation, the shared experience that Lotusphere is all about. I'm leaving in just a few days. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Meet you at #ls12 - or in Word with Friends ;-) I recently was able to win against my wife for the first time she started playing (she is a writer, very good with words), so now I need another loss against Brill :)

Of course, ANOTHER place you can find Ed @ Lotusphere is in the "Unofficial Lotusphere Cookbook", produced by those clever marketers at NotesCode. It features over 30 recipes (yes--for food, not code) submitted by names that Lotusphere regulars will probably find familiar.
Do you want to make sure you get a copy? You can reserve one using the link below, and we'll set it aside for you at the RPR Wyatt booth. The NotesCode booth will also have copies, as will other sponsors. Don't leave Lotusphere without one, and be sure to try out my linguini with clam sauce!

#7 Yes, Gayle has the Spinach and Goat cheese tartlets, which looks awesome. I think the recipe books is really fun. It shows another side of us techies. Going to Lotusphere? You really need to get one of these books.
