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!
Let’sConnect 2022 will become a online event instead of a face to face one. Join us for a 1 day virtual event on October 26. More details on how to register for this event will follow later this week.
Due to the aftermath of the pandemic and the restrictions companies are putting on travel as a result of the economical crisis, we are forced to change this event to an online one.
We will deliver the same quality content with the same quality speakers and now have the opportunity to have the keynote be presented by Richard Jefts ( General Manager HCL Digital Solutions).

Stay safe and see you soon !
We are happy to say that we have lots of good content for you to watch and read from Let’sConnect Connects!
We give you for example several sessions from HCL on where HCL Connections is heading, a keynote from Richard Jefts and Andrew Manby, a session on how you can customize HCL Connections to tailor it matching your wishes, and also a session on research on the flora of tools for enterprise collaboration.

We hope we will see you next time!
Should you want to contact us, you can always reach us at team@letsconnect.world
We’ll go straight to the point: The agenda for our 2 half day September event is published!
We have for example several interesting sessions from HCL Offering Management scheduled. For example “Connections v8” and “Business Value of Connections”. And more!
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.
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!
Summer holidays are getting closer for many of us, and for some winter is coming. Regardless times are changing and we look forward to a hopefully more open world where we can finally gather the community live!
In the meantime we welcome you to our bi-monthly webinar!
Join us on June 29, 2021 at 3 pm CEST to hear news from HCL and the Let’sConnect team.
Agenda snippets below:
HCL Connections news
At our last online event we collected the latest and greatest news all about HCL Connections and presented it to our attendees. We got good feedback on this, so we will of course repeat this news section!
Kickstart with the HCL Connections Engagement Centre
Join this session to learn how to kickstart HCL Connections Engagement Center. Roger will take you through the steps of creating a base intranet page brining content in from HCL Connections and other sources. In 45 minutes you can have a simple intranet. Roger will also show you how to create a separate intranet page for visitors so you don’t expose internal data to them.
Roger Zirn: As a Senior Software Engineer at Belsoft Collaboration AG, Roger gathered his HCL Connections experiences during installations, troubleshooting, administering and customizing tasks for several on-prem as well as for ThreeThirds cloud customers. He started to work in the collaboration area as an HCL Notes and Domino developer 30 years ago (actually, at this time it was called Lotus Notes developer). You can still find him coding @Formulas and LotusScript… sometimes.

We are looking forward to see you soon.

Hello!
We are so happy to have held yet another virtual conference in this year of 2021. As much as we wish we could see you all in person we are over the moon of the response we have from the Connections Community. We were a full house again!
This time we had two very interesting topics alongside our popular “Connections News” collected and given by the Let’sConnect team:
HCL Connections News by Wannes Rams from the Let’sConnect team
HCL Connections Roadmap by Adam Gartenberg, Director, Product Management, HCL
With the most recent release of HCL Connections out the door, we are working hard on the next release. In this session we will share a preview of how the next Connections release creates a new experience that will let users enjoy fluid collaboration within Connections and beyond.

Fine-tune HCL Connections to your needs by Jan Valdman, Whitesoft

Link to Jan’s session here (Youtube)
After the sessions we had a really interesting Q&A session with lots of good questions and answers on the coming versions of Connections and HCL’s plan ahead.

If you are interested to participate in any way (for example speaking in a session), please email us at team@letsconnect.world. Any topic is interesting, and particularly of course upgrading experiences.

Hi,
our next webinar is about to happen NEXT week on May 11 3pm CET! Let us connect together again to learn how to get most of your Connections deployment. We have prepared two sessions for you:
HCL Connections news
At our last online event we collected the latest and greatest news all about HCL Connections and presented it to our attendees. We got good feedback on this, so we will of course repeat this news section!
Fine-tune HCL Connections to your needs
Once you finish installation of HCL Connections, there are dozens of features you can enable or disable in so called post-installation steps. Unfortunately many of the useful features are not enabled by default and therefore missed by many admins to the detriment of users. In this session we will walk through most of the features and advice how to make Connections users engaged and happy.
Jan Valdman works as a business development manager and consultant in Whitesoft, a Czech-Belgian IT company. Jan is a Connections-addict IT evangelist who has log time experience with IBM/HCL technology. He is also an assistant professor on Enterprise IT management and Knowledge management at University of West Bohemia. Jan has been recognized as IBM champion for collaboration solutions 2014-2019 and HCL Ambassador since 2019.
HCL Connections Roadmap presented by HCL
With the most recent release of HCL Connections out the door, we are working hard on the next release. In this session we will share a preview of how the next Connections release creates a new experience that will let users enjoy fluid collaboration within Connections and beyond.

March 2021! Think, a year ago we could not believe we would be living our work lives online and that several office desks are now collecting dust instead of coffee cups. It is already a cliché saying all this, but as strange the world is, it is worth repeating.
Luckily, we have the tools to get the job done. HCL Connections is the meeting point and the central hub where colleagues meet, work, document, collects, learn. A tool which breaks down silos, creates visibility and lets people do their job.
That’s why we in the Let’sConnect team keep on doing our job. Gather people that wants to share knowledge, network and help others. At either physical conferences or as now, virtual.
Last week we had our second virtual conference: Let’sConnect Connects!
Registrations were flowing in and the team was really happy by the numbers!
The reason was of course the topics for the conference:
HCL Connections News by Wannes Rams from the Let’sConnect team
(why upgrade to Connections 7, Install Automations, Connections Sizing Guide)
HCL Connections Client Advocacy by John Immerman, HCL
(join the Client Advocacy and take part in the vibrant Connections Communtity.)
Link to John’s presentation here
Take your Communities to the next level by Fabio Gervasoni, Design Lead HCL
(create engaging and attractive Communities by customizing the homepage layout
of your community, and new capabilities made possible by new Connections templates.)
Link to Fabio’s presentation here
Link to Fabio’s session here (Youtube)
After the sessions we had a really interesting Q&A session where we had a fantastic group of people from HCL helping out answering questions and talking to people from the community:
Adam Gartenberg, Director, Product Management HCL
Miki Banatwala, Senior Software Engineer at HCL
Bill Wimer, Director Of Engineering HCL
And last but not least we got introduced to Jack O’Donnell, the new Director of Development for HCL Connections. We are really excited that he joined us, and we look forward to hearing from him again!
Now we immediately start planning our next conference which will take place on May 11, 2021!
If you are interested to participate in any way (for example speaking in a session), please email us at team@letsconnect.world. Any topic is interesting, and particularly of course upgrading experiences.
Until we meet again,
So long!

Hi,
today we are happy to bring you some details regarding our first online event in this year – which will take place on March 16 3pm CET! Let us connect together to hear some news regarding WHAT from HCL. We are thrilled to learn more about the next release of Connections later in this year and how it will meet your expectations.
Our main speaker will be Fabio Gervasoni from HCL design team, who will show us how to create attracting and engaging communities.
Take your Communities to the next level
Connections 7 offers new ways of tweaking and customizing the homepage layout of your community and new capabilities made possible by new Connections templates. In this session, Fabio Gervasoni, head of the HCL Connections Design team, will share design tips and best practices on developing Communities that are suited to your needs, attractive and engaging for your specific audiences.
Fabio Gervasoni joined the HCL Digital Solutions team in January 2020. An experienced graphic designer, Fabio covered different roles ranging from traditional print design and art direction to UX and UI for web and mobile, both agency and in-house. In his current role at HCL he is leading the Connections and Sametime design teams, refining the user experience and look and feel of these key tools in the HCL’s product portfolio.
The second speaker will be John Immerman who will tell us all about the Connections Advocacy Program
Last but not least, the event is open for all members of the community so if you have something to tell, give us a shout – we can arrange a short timeslot for you. We would also like to discuss our plans for the September conference in Madrid – do you still remember that we have got an amazing venue, huh? We need your feedback regarding your expectations and possibility of international travel.
Please register for the event HERE in order to receive the webinar link. The event is free!
We are looking forward to see you soon.

HCL has released the new HCL Connections 7 at the end of December 2020, now the developers are collecting info to improve the future releases.
You could try the user feedback survey here https://hclsw.co/connections-survey
it’s a 5-10 minutes survey to help HCL to build a better Connections, please keep your time and send your response !
There are lots of initiatives to connect people who work with HCL Connections. But none targeted directly to super users of HCL Connections within organisations. Heitkamp & Thumann is using HCL Connections as their collaboration platform, and they have for a while been running a ‘guide’ (super user) program with good results.
From their experience with running this initiative we would like to explore what options there are to bring together their guides with guides, champions, super users from other programs. Maybe to just have someone sit in on one of their (virtual) meetings to have some exchange of thoughts or to talk about the challenges they run into when trying to get their colleagues to expand their usage of the platform and maybe just to exchange some tips & tricks. All ideas are open and welcome.
While most other initiatives might connect those at the top, the admins, organizers, community managers, architects, this initiative focuses directly on the people who uses HCL Connections most. There are so many more who use the product and never go to conferences, virtual events etc. Not because they can’t, but because they think it’s not for them or too technical or just not in their job role. But many of them, and especially those that act as champions, super users, ambassadors or guides would really benefit from hearing how others are doing things.
So if you are a guide, internal HCL Connections champion, super user, ambassador for HCL Connections within your company (named as such or just because you do it) or run an adoption program and have them, or would simply like to start one; join us for the session where we try to come up with ways to set this up. The session is in English and open to all.
Date: 21st of January at 4pm CET
Meeting id is: https://ht-group.zoom.us/j/96572564480

It is a great pleasure to announce an additional virtual Let’sConnect event that will take place in February 2021. Having this just after the Connections 7 release allows all of our speakers to cook up new content on usage, installation, business value and configuration of the new version. Stay tuned for updates on the exact date for this event.
We hope you have all received the survey from the HCL product team on Connections. If not or if you have not yet had the time to take the survey, it will only take 5 minutes of your time. HCL is inquiring how your organization is using HCL Connections, this feedback will help them understand your use cases and will help guide future roadmap decisions.

Bye for now!
The Let’sConnect team (Maria, Wannes, Matteo, Jan and Martin)
Dear friends!
As you know we and everybody else needs to adapt to the current situation in the world. I can be easy or it can be tough. But no challenge is too tricky to solve for an agile bunch of people like us! We and you work in a collaboration community driven by change, and most of us are used to evolving work situations and new ways of working. So when the world is constantly changing, we find ways.
All of us testifies that we now see an increase in the use of collaboration software within companies. Digital workplaces, chat tools, meeting rooms. All of it. So we feel it is more important than ever to arrange meeting places were we can discuss these needs.
We have updates for you!
LetsConnect 2020 will be a virtual one
Our original plan was to have the conference 28-29 September, so we are sticking to those days, but extending them to the whole week. 28 September – 2 October 2020.
The reason is that we will spread out the sessions during the days to make it easier for you to follow along. You do not now have to book a whole day in front of your computer. You can now pin point the sessions that intrigues you and attend those.
The event will be held to match several time zones. We welcome attendees from all over the world.
One session we are sure will intrigue you is the keynote with Danielle Baptiste, Associate Vice President, Product Management at HCL Technologies. She will update us on the latest on HCL Connections.
We will also fill the week with deep dive technical sessions, customer stories on using HCL Connections sessions, best practices sessions and more.
You will also have the possibilities to network with the community and ask experts in our virtual interest rooms.
Do you want to do a session on the virtual event? Submit your abstract here: https://letsconnect.world/submit-abstract/
More information will follow.
Questions? Contact us at team@letsconnect.world
LetsConnect 2021 will be in Madrid!
We of course look to the future. LetsConnect 2021 will take place in Madrid. One year later than planned, but hey. Let’s look forward to see the vibrant community and eat that tapas plate a little longer.
Book your calendar for 27-28 September 2021!
More information about this conference will follow. But most important, put it in your calendar.

Dear Let’sConnect speakers, sponsors, visitors,
First of all we would like to wish you good health for you and your loved ones.
As the world is currently changing in a way and at a pace none of us could have imagined until a couple of weeks ago, we as a user group organizer need to adapt, adapt to the unknown. Not an easy task as we don’t know what is ahead and when.
Therefore we have decided that given the fact that we have already published a date and have a venue, that for now the conference is ON. We yet have to decide whether it will be a physical event as planned initially, a virtual event or a combination of the 2 as we might end up in a situation were a part of the world is able to travel and part is not.
We would like to open our call for abstracts as everyone has time on their hands sitting at home unable to go out, there is no better time to write a couple of good abstracts and submit them to us. Please note that we now welcome sessions on HCL DX as well as that product will be an integral part of our conference.
For now we will not open call for sponsors and registration, we will do so once we know what type of event we will have.
Keep in mind that if we do a virtual event, you will not be travelling to Madrid, so please do not book any travel at this moment. Don’t be afraid to submit even if you are not sure you will be able to make it to Madrid, we will find a way to make it work all together as a community.
Please submit your abstracts here
The Let’sConnect team (Maria, Wannes, Matteo, Jan and Martin) wish you all the best for the next couple of weeks. Follow your governments guidelines, use commons sense when you go out, wash your hands and DO NOT BUY MORE TOILETPAPER THAN YOU NEED!!!
The Let’sConnect Team
Join us to hear about the future of HCL Connections and HCL Digital Experience
Connections has found a new home at HCL. Alongside the transition, the Product Management team has worked hard to release a new version of Connections (Connections 6.5) with new features and has announced a bigger release, version 7.
Digital Experience has followed the same pattern with the 9.5 release in 2019 and a big new release in 2020 with version 10.
The LetsConnect team (formerly Social Connections) has followed the journey with interest and we are very happy we now can reveal the city and venue for our next conference, all about Connections and Digital Experience!
We know many Connections customers have been waiting patiently to hear from HCL on how Connections will evolve and continue to be the go-to place to find the company’s collective knowledge and skills.
The team has been working hard to find a place where we can gather all of you, customers, business partners, product management, researchers and the developers for our next LetsConnect conference. HCL will have a natural place in the spotlight as they will share news, plans and facts about Connections and Digital Experience.
So without further ado we would like to say:
Welcome to Madrid and Truss Madrid in WiZink Center!
