It's official. This is a 3-hour extravaganza you don't want to miss. Last year, community members had the exclusive opportunity to meet with like-minded clients and IBM technologists for an awesome afternoon of networking and collaboration! Attendees got to influence the future vision of IBM Cloud in a Design Thinking Session, build their eminence through round tables and break out sessions on key topics: Security, Modernization, AI, Regulated Industries & Extended Enterprise, and learn first hand from other TechXchange Champions on ways to make the most of Cloud.
This year, on Oct 6th, we're doing it all over again at our 2nd Annual Cloud Community Appreciation Day with:
-
Tech Previews
-
Technical Panels
- Co-Creation Sessions
Come see what's in store for 2026 and network with our leading cloud experts:
