We are back again! This time in Oslo, Norway and Stockholm, Sweden.
After two full house events both in Copenhagen and Stockholm last year, we are at it again. Both events were a great success and created lot’s of enthusiasm among the participants.
So, wether you are a former “Lotus Notes/Domino” user or now an active HCL software user, a customer, a developer or just an enthusiast who want to get updated with the latest news, talk to HCL’s experts or just meet other skilled users – save the dates in your calendar:
– Oslo, Norway Tuesday 22. October 2024
– Stockholm, Sweden, Thursday 24. October 2024.
At this event you will be presented of all the news regarding collaboration software from the new giant in the software universe – HCL. You will learn about new versions of the software, new and faster methods to develop your own solutions, meet customers who share their experience, and have all the opportunities to meet HCL’s own experts.
Since HCL took over a great software stack from IBM some years ago, they have modernised, improved and innovated new solutions and had a great success developing their new HCL Software division and grown the company both in numbers of employees and financially.
The Let’s Connect Nordics is an independent User Group that promises a refreshing conference experience. Instead of a traditional two-day event confined to a single Nordic capital, we’re taking a different approach. We’re hitting the road to reach you, the community members, in your own cities.
Let’s Connect Nordics is not just another conference; it’s a traveling spectacle, a veritable flying circus! Our mission is to bring HCL Software experts directly to you, offering invaluable insights into the latest technologies and strategies. Consider us your new Nordic community and family.
So, what are you waiting for? Mark your calendars for October and secure your spot at Let’s Connect Nordic 2024.
Ready to join us on this exciting journey? Register here and we will keep you informed as the planning goes ahead! Welcome!

We hope this intrigues you as much as it does to us, so head on over to our website to take a look and register! (Scroll down for some highlights.)
Join us on 28 – 29 September 2021 at 3 pm CET to hear news from HCL and the Let’sConnect team.
HCL Keynote: The State of Collaboration in 2021 and Beyond
As the past year has proven, enabling employees to keep the organization running and meet their professional and personal objectives while working remotely has become a mission-critical requirement.
HCL Connections has always been in the forefront in providing an open platform that fosters engagement, communication, and collaboration. In this session, Senior Vice President Richard Jefts and Vice President Andrew Manby will share their perspective on the state of collaboration today and the role that Connections is playing in driving it forward into the future.
Enterprise Collaboration: A Zoo of Tools – Current Strategies behind Enterprise Collaboration Platforms
Join this session and hear about the different approaches used by user organisations to develop their software portfolio for Enterprise Collaboration.
We are going to discuss the complex collaborative technology landscape in order to understand the evolving portfolios of collaboration software currently in use in organizations. This will include the examination of different areas of collaboration activity that these tools support and the areas of overlapping and redundant functionality. We will present findings from a study of 23 user organisations in which we identified three dominant strategies. In this session, you will learn how the companies in our sample are addressing the zoo of software tools to shape their Enterprise Collaboration Platform.
The Connections Roadmap: A First Glimpse at v8.0
We have shared our plans for HCL Connections 8 in the past so you have probably heard about or even seen the new designs by now. But let us give you a refresher on what the development teams are working on.
We have news for you! Our September conference which was planned to take part in Madrid, will instead be a virtual one.
As much as we had hoped to gather the community this fall, we have taken the decision to postpone a face to face event to later. Even though the world is gradually openening up, there are still hurdles we feel will be too big at this stage.
In the meantime we want to make sure that the waiting is worthwhile! We are inviting you to a 2 half day online event taking place on the 28-29 September 2021.
We already have several interesting sessions from HCL Offerings Management scheduled, on the future of Connections. And more!.
We now invite you to participate with a session if you feel you have a topic you think might interest the Connections community. If you would like to submit an abstract, please email us at team@letsconnect.world
We have already opened up the registration for the event here.
Agenda and more information will be published in the next coming days.
Let’sConnect soon!
