Events | March 23-24, 2016: Session Proposals
We're preparing our next big 2-day event on March 23-24 (a Wednesday & Thursday), 2016,
Here's more info regarding the nearby hotels and reduced rate room-reservation.
On previous occasions, we had some excellent speakers (2015) and also in 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010.
We want to see you do a presentation too.
Let us know if you have a great topic you would like to talk about.
A normal session takes 45 or 60 minutes (depending on the slot in the agenda).
Please allow 5 to 10 minutes for Q&A.
All sessions have to be presented in English. We prefer you bring your own laptop/tablet for doing the presentation.
All rooms are equipped for projection, and have wireless internet connection (we hope it is very reliable).
There will be 6 tracks:
Administration, Development, Business Cases/Customer Stories, Strategy/Deployment, Emerging Technologies and Commercial (gold/platinum sponsors only).
Please submit your session proposal before February 8th, 2016. This will allow us to sort through the submissions.
Some of the criteria for being approved are:
*All submitted sessions are subject to the Engage's approval
Some guidelines about your Speaker Picture and Bio.
All non-commercial, non-IBM speakers will get their hotel-expenses covered by Engage, for 3 nights max. (depending on the generosity of our sponsors).
You have to book a room yourself (use the hotel link above). We'll tell the hotel 2 weeks up-front, whom's expenses we cover.
We are known to treat our guests very well, and want to keep this tradition going (yes, we will have chocolates in serious quantities again).
An exciting conference Speaker Dinner (for all speakers and main sponsor representatives) is planned, for WEDNESDAY evening at the TOP of the UFO in the Evoluon!
Drinks sponsored by HADSL/Firm!
Many cities in Belgium and The Netherlands (Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, Brussels, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, ...) are well worth visiting, so extend your stay and enjoy.
All of the interesting cities are relatively nearby, and can be reached by car or train in less than an hour and a half.
Two Tourist tips: the Philips Museum in Eindhoven, and the Hieronymus Bosch Exhibit in ’s-Hertogenbosch (half an hour drive from EindHoven)
this time at the 'Evoluon' in Eindhoven, the Netherlands.

Some of the criteria for being approved are:
- Originality (if 5 people want to talk about Installing Connections, we're not going to approve them all)
- Timeliness (don't submit a session about using calendar views in Notes 4.5)
- Interest and Relation to all thing IBM Collaboration Solutions (aka Lotus) (Jumla development might be interesting, but not that many attendees will be interested, nor is it relevant)
Note that, we are open to topics that broaden existing solutions (e.g. modern JS frameworks) - Availability of slots (we can approve around 40 sessions)
- Track record as a speaker (note that we have had first-time speakers at every Engage event, so go for it)
