You are invited to the IBM "Building a Smarter Planet" webcast June 9, 2009 with Sam Palmisano
The world has undergone massive change -- new leadership, flux in the world's economies, concerns about the environment. All this is pressing the world to become "smarter". The unique skills, experience and technologies offered by IBM, together with you, our Business Partners, allow us to offer clients the solutions they need. IBM is pleased to introduce the Business Partner Development Series focusing on three areas -- strategy, education and networking. This series will cover IBM hardware, software and services offerings as they relate to building a smarter planet in the midmarket.
On June 9, 2009, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, we will kick off the series by presenting "The Business Partner Leadership Agenda: Building a Smarter Planet" webcast featuring Sam Palmisano, IBM chairman, president and chief executive officer, Rich Hume, IBM general manager, Global Business Partners, and Fareed Zakaria, renowned editor of Newsweek and CNN host. Sam Palmisano will discuss the important role Business Partners play and how building a smarter planet and global economic stimulus dollars work together to provide opportunities. The event is also our forum for announcing the finalists and winners of the IBM Beacon Awards.
We invite you to register now for the June 9 webcast, and be sure to mark this important event on your calendar.
