Announcement about Social Connections 14 in Berlin – The show must go on!

News 2018, berlin, connections, october, social, social connections by Social Connections

The team for Social Connections are working hard to finalise the details for our 14th event about IBM Connections in Berlin. We are very happy that we have an awesome venue, several amazing sponsors, fantastic customers who will speak and many great attendees already signed up.

 

One thing have happened though we didn’t count on. IBM, our Platinum sponsor, has decided to withdraw their sponsorship for Social Connections 14. The reason they gave us is that they have put all their resources into the launch of Domino v10.
This is a massive financial and emotional blow for us as an IBM Connections User Group, as we bring customers and business partners (and IBM) together so people can meet and learn from each other.

 

It is also an emotional blow for us volunteers in the team, we who work many and countless hours on our free time to organise this conference, promoting IBM Connections and maintain this amazing community of customers and business partners.
We have had a team meeting and decided that there is only one thing we can do, and want to do.

 

If you know us, you already know the answer…..

 

We will not stop by this, we will make it work and the event, October 16-17 in Berlin will take place. Because that is what we do!

 

The agenda stays as published and will not change. We have been assured by both Offering Management and the IBM Europe team that we have their full logistic support.

 

It will all of course take some work, some changes and some careful planning!

 

But we are certain, that we will deliver to you an amazing, vibrant event, all about the digital workplace. We will continue bringing people together who believe in collaboration software.

 

So, buckle up people, the show will go on!

 

See you in Berlin for Social Connections 14, October 16-17, 2018.

 

Support us by helping us spreading the word about the event! Invite your friends, colleagues or customers to participate. Or considering sponsorship? We have a few packages available.

Social Connections 14 takes Berlin!!! 16-17 October 2018

News 14, berlin, connections, german, germany, soccnx, social by Maria Nordin

One could think we came out of Social Connections 13 from Manhattan (see Leonard Cohen), but actually we just wrapped up a very successful event in the fabulous city of Philadelphia!

So why Berlin then? As always, when we look at cities, we aim to find a city we think you would like. You, our speakers, our customers, our IBMers, all of you. A city where you can get to easily, where we can find and gather many alike you. People who are convinced a workplace is a better place when people work together, with tools and solutions that makes humans come closer, not further apart.

So we ended up with Berlin! And we hope you are as excited as we are! We have been in Germany once before, when we arranged Social Connections 8 in Stuttgart in 2015, and we have many fond memories from that conference. Our goal is to reproduce them and make even better ones this time!

Next thing we do, when we found our city, is look for a venue. Oh my so much to chose from! Fear not, we have chosen.

Welcome to a fantastic venue called Spreespeicher. (Our team member Nico gives free courses in how to pronounce that in fluent German.) The venue is an old warehouse and is located riverside on the river Spree and is close to the world famous Oberbaumbrücke. One of Berlins oldest bridges dating back to 1732 in it oldest wooden form. The bridge was used in the novel and mini series Smileys People by John le Carré, as a handover location.

We are truly excited to announce our 14th event and we hope you will join us there!

Look out for more information in the next coming days about how to participate. We are inviting:

  • sponsors to exhibit your solutions and services
  • speakers to tell the audience about your latest findings
  • attendees who are eager to learn about the latest in the IBM collaboration space

See you in Berlin 16-17 October 2018
