IBM Champions in Action - Oct 31 Edition

By Morgan McKeen posted Thu October 31, 2024 09:00 AM

  

Admittedly… There were two ways that this edition of Champions in Action could have gone. A compilation of the Halloween memes that our Champions have created this spooky season or a roundup of all the amazing activities that our Champions in Vegas participated in. (I went with the latter).

But before anything, this is an especially important public service announcement!

Champions nominations are due November 15th. Whether you’re nominating yourself, a colleague, a business partner or a friend, your complete nomination must be in before that date. Here are the quick links: nominate yourself or nominate a colleague.

Want to learn more about the Champions nomination process? Watch the replay of our recent Masterclass and AMA.

And now, what have our IBM Champions been up to? It’s my pleasure to share this special edition of IBM Champions in Action: October 31st Edition and TechXchange Las Vegas!
