Calling all WebSphere users–that’s right, I’m talking to you. IBM InterConnect is happening once again at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada from March 19-23.
Why should you be marking these dates on your calendar? Well, for starters, InterConnect is the premier cloud conference where you can tap into the most advanced technology available in the market today.
But, let’s be honest, there are hundreds of cloud conferences hosted worldwide each year. Why is InterConnect any different? (Hint: It’s not because it’s located in Las Vegas).
Unlike other cloud computing conferences, InterConnect will give you the opportunity to see and experience firsthand how cognitive and cloud computing is impacting businesses across every industry.
Specifically for WebSphere users, InterConnect is where you’ll receive inside information and recommendations of how you can apply the latest cutting-edge, cognitive and cloud technologies as well as analytics to your WebSphere applications and infrastructure. It’s a time to get your hands dirty and elevate your organization so you’re not left behind during this digital transformation sweeping the marketplace.
Still not convinced you should register? Here are three more reasons why every WebSphere user must attend InterConnect:
1. Stay competitive in the marketplace
There’s no denying cloud, cognitive capabilities and analytics are transforming your business world. They’re the driving factor behind new, compelling user experiences that keep your customers coming back. Use InterConnect as your opportunity to get in-person help from WebSphere experts on how to build your next gen apps.

2. Meet industry experts and extend your network
Network, network, network. More than 24,000 people from all across the globe will be at InterConnect, and I can’t think of a better chance to extend your network by meeting with industry experts, thought leaders, peers and executives.
Walk through the Solution EXPO reception to see the latest from IBM and our extensive business partner network or attend a luncheon. Use InterConnect as your opportunity to meet experts, gain new insights and opinions, and find new opportunities for digital leadership in your industry. Oh–and there are more of your peers presenting sessions this year than at any point in the past!
3. Get smart. Expand your knowledge.
With over 2,000 sessions, 200 exhibitors, hundreds of labs, certification opportunities, and countless opportunities to meet like-minded professionals from around the world, you can learn from the best in the industry how to take advantage of cognitive and deliver better insight to your business.
Find out what is trending in the marketplace–and why. If the number of sessions and exhibits isn’t enticing enough, attending InterConnect is worth over $8,000 in education and training alone. The odds of learning something new are in your favor.
