The 2019 IBM Think Conference once again took the tech world by storm February 12th-15th. The event hosted in San Francisco, California showcased the newest technology innovations and creations. The event featured a star-studded list of speakers from, Tiffany Pham to Tony Hawk, and offered many educational sessions for attendees to network and learn with their peers.
Think 2019 kicked off with Community Day, with multiple informational presentations from experts in IBM software. These experts presented on topics such as Application Infrastructure, Cloud Management, and IBM App Connect. Our very own Community Managers, Kelsy Tibshraeny and Paul Bradley, had the pleasure to attend many of these Community Day sessions. Check out the photos below from they were able to capture.

@Amit Acharya Presenting: “Accelerate your digital journey with #API"
In between the educational sessions, attendees were able to connect and network with others in their respective industries.

IBM Champion-led roundtable topics at Think included sessions on user groups (in English and in Japanese), on IBM Storage, security, NodeRED, data science, Db2, Collaboration, Notes & Domino, Linux, Containers & Docker, Blockchain, Cloud, Call for Code, Champion success stories, and many more.
Each of the Champion Chat sessions gave attendees at Think an opportunity to meet some IBM Champions, to gather with other members of the larger IBM Community, and to discuss topics they want to Think together about.
Right across from the Champion's lounge were great tunes offered by the DJ keeping the vibe strong throughout the conference.
