    Letter From the Team

    Happy Autumn IBM Rising Champion Contributors, Advocates, and Influencers!

    As we approach IBM TechXchange Conference 2024, our excitement is growing to see some of amazing advocates in person! There is nothing quite like a face-to-face conference to magnify our appreciation for all our advocates.

    If you missed our last quarterly advocacy call, which we held on 21 August, don't worry. You can get caught up on the replay here. Be sure to put a placeholder in your calendar for two upcoming calls you don't want to miss:

    31 October: Masterclass & AMA: How to become an IBM Champion

    20 November: 4Q/24 Quarterly Advocacy Call for IBM Rising Champions and Advocates


    Nominations are now open for IBM Champions, class of 2025 until 15 November

    Calling all advocates and enthusiasts, who are committed to promoting and advancing knowledge and awareness about the innovations behind IBM technologies. You can nominate yourself, or have someone nominate you, or you can nominate someone you know. Visit this post on the IBM Champions Community to get all the details.

    ** To be considered for IBM Champion status, you will require a formal nomination to be submitted - either directly by you, or by someone you know. If you have been reporting your ongoing activities throughout the year, that's great and thank you! All of your reported activities will be merged with your formal nomination for IBM Champion, class of 2025.
