Are you thinking about submitting a speaking abstract for IBM TechXchange 2025? The deadline is coming up 11 April 2025, and while there’s still time, the deadline will be here before you know it!
Whether you are a developer, architect, data scientist, or an IT leader your knowledge and expertise can have a big impact on a captive audience. IBM TechXchange 2025 is a prime opportunity to connect with your peers and share your important insights with a global audience.
If the thought of submitting an abstract makes you nervous, you are not alone. Whether it’s your first time or your twentieth time, putting your ideas out there for someone else to review can be super intimidating.
But here’s the thing – the rewards far outweigh the risks! Speaking on an international stage:
· positions you as a thought leader.
· expands your professional network.
· refines your ideas and clarifies your message.
· helps you ‘pay it forward’ by sharing knowledge with others.
· opens doors to new potential opportunities in work and research.
And even if your proposal isn’t accepted, you still may have great content that can be repurposed somewhere else – articles, videos, other presentations at user group meetings, and so on!
