I wish I could be with you Lotusphere

I attended Lotusphere 2006 when i was working at an animal insurance company in Sweden who uses Lotus Notes. I came there alone both as a developer, administrator and a company representative (well I actually knew a few people). And was I impressed? Wow, it was really, really good and I was amazed.

Cool general opening sessions, very good technical sessions all days long To be able to talk to experts/developers and people around you all over the place that have something in common, good arrangements and great dinner and parties at night.

I was suppose to go in 2007 as well but I changed employer so unfortunately I couldn't and unfortunately I don't think I will be able to go for a couple of years now either. But for all of you that have not been there and are going I congratulate you, you will have lots of fun and learn many new things and of course make new friends and perhaps new colleagues.

This is probably not new information to anyone on Planet Lotus but for anyone else that might land on this blog, here is a link to the site on IBM about Lotusphere 2009 where you can read about it and register.

Thomas Adrian did some calculation on his Twitter and stated that it would cost about 29000 swedish crowns. GAAAH! Not something I am doing with my own checkbook. But I also realize that for a great event like this it has to cost although a great part of it actually is the travel and staying.
