While I have wanted to attend Lotusphere as an analyst for many years, it has never worked out due to family holidays over Christmas and into January. But … it looks like that will change with Lotusphere 2012 and IBM Connect 2012, two side-by-side conferences being hosted by IBM in mid-January in the US. I’m planning on being there.

I’ll be attending as an analyst, and also hope to have the opportunity to talk about my collaboration and user adoption research. I have submitted a session proposal focused on my forthcoming book, Collaboration Roadmap (2011), and will be submitting another session proposal later this week focused on User Adoption Strategies for IBM Connections. The latter will be with Stuart McIntyre, of Collaboration Matters in the UK.
