The conference has now reached the halfway point. The first two days were chock full of technical sessions, Special Interest Groups, certification testing, and much more. We hope you are enjoying your IDUG Experience thus far.

 

Wednesday will be another full day, kicking off with a dynamic keynote presentation from Chad Fowler titled "Fight the Traffic: Radical Success V. Fear of Failure in the World of Global Software Engineering." Another round of technical sessions and Special Interest Groups will take place, and for those of you looking to become IBM certified be sure to stop by the Bryan-Beeman room on the Atrium Level to take a free IBM certification exam. So far, more than 250 exams have been taken. The pass rate from Monday was an amazing 71%!

 

Wednesday also marks your last opportunity to meet with solution providers in the Exhibit Hall. The Exhibit Hall will close at 1:30 p.m. If you don't have dinner plans yet for Wednesday night, be sure to sign up for the Dine Around. Sign up sheets in the Reunion lobby.

 

That's it for today's update. Two days down, two to go...be sure to make the most of your IDUG Experience!

Monday began strong with a Welcome address from IDUG 2007 - 2008 Board President Bernie O'Connor and North America Conference Planning Committee Chair Suresh Sane. This led into the keynote presentation "IBM Data Servers: Setting the Pace of Innovation That Delivers Business Value" delivered by Dr. Arvind Krishna and Curt Cotner of IBM.

 

Attendees took advantage of the 44 diverse technical sessions offered, user feedback opportunities, and free IBM certification testing. The first round of Special Interest Groups were held today at 2:45p fostering some great discussion and networking. New this year, the Women in Technology Special Interest Group was attended by more than 50 women (and one man whose identity will remain anonymous). ;)

 

The day concluded with the exhibit hall reception in Marsalis Hall. This was kicked off by and "official" ribbon cutting ceremony. During the reception, attendees met with many exhibitors, viewing live product demonstrations and discovering new solutions to help address the challenges in their shops.

 

Tomorrow features another full day of education topped off with an Exhibit Hall Reception from 5:15 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. Enjoy!

Thank you to all of you who joined us to kick off the conference at the IDUG Welcome Reception on Sunday evening. As you can see from the photos, it was quite an event.  

This is one of many networking opportunities available at this year's conference. Stop by the Marsalis Hall on the Lower Level tonight at 5:15 p.m. to continue the celebration at this evening's Exhibit Hall Reception. Mix and mingle with your fellow attendees and see what this year's exhibitors have to offer.
