Just before the start of my session...

This year, I have delivered a presentation with Marco Janssen from Acuity on Social Communications & IBM Sametime 9. I have more specifically covered the video part of that presentation - Why Video Collaboration is critical? What are IBM Sametime Audio/Video capabilities? Integration with Video Room Systems?

Business Gets Social 2012 in Eindhoven with Acuity

I spent the day in the High Tech campus in Eindoven to attend Business Gets Social (Lotusphere comes to you) event as speaker.

Acuity organized a very engaging event with customers & business partners.
That was interesting with famous speakers in the Lotus community like Laurent Boes and Niklas Heidloff, and some former colleague like Reynout Adrichem Boogaert.

Some pictures of the event : 

Laurent explaining Social Mail, Activity Streams...
