Welcome to the Cross Country Lotus User Group
The Cross Country Lotus User Group is an organization consisting of Lotus customers across Canada and the Caribbean. The objective of this group is to provide a place where Lotus professionals, (administrators, developers, users, business partners, and IBM’ers) can meet to:
-
share their experiences
-
learn new information
-
improve technical skills
-
take part in the Lotus Collaboration Community
The meetings will be held simultaneously across several cities using Lotus web conferencing technology, but will also be hosted regionally. Therefore, some presentations will be in person in the hosted cities, and at the same time presented via web conference to remote participants. Everyone is encouraged to attend the meeting in a nearby location, so that you can meet and network with other Lotus Collaboration users in your area! There are no membership fees and the meeting is open to anyone interested in Lotus Software.
Date: October 1st, 2009,
Time: 11:30 to 5:30 Eastern
