Lotusphere Business Development Day is the first official day of the conference and is designed to give Business Partners the inside scoop on many of the upcoming announcements and to push home some of the techniques IBM use to provide Social Business to its customers.
This year the opening general session was moved from its eye-watering 8am slot to a far more congenial 12.45pm time. This allowed many folks who wanted to attend the Jump Start sessions to get a deep-dive into some technical stuff and then come up for air at the OGS.
The OGS itself was shorter than I remember on previous occasions but very good, with Alastair Rennie, Mike Garbett, Doug Cox, Mark Register, Kristen Lauria and Sandy Carter all giving good pitches on changes, incentives, and other partner-focused news.
