Why Business Partners CAN NOT sign up for three day pass at Lotusphere 2011

-
I was in the process of signing up for Lotusphere 2011. Since I didn't plan to go to the Wednesday party nor Thursday I thought I would sign up for the three day conference badge which is $200 cheaper. I was surprise to find out that as an IBM Business Partner we are not allowed to sign up for the three day pass. It sounds like IBM squeezing money out of the partners again.

Hi Richard,
I'm a marketing manager at IBM, and I happened upon your post. Based on your feedback, I asked some of the folks involved with Lotusphere planning why business partners cannot sign up for the three day pass. They responded that rationale for excluding business partners from the three day package is based on the assumption that partners would want to attend the Business Partner Development Day on Sunday, January 30th. I apologize if that is not the case in your instance. At this point, IBM cannot make changes to the registration packages since people have already started to register; however, we do appreciate your feed and will certainly keep it in mind for next year.

Creating Twitter Bootstrap Widgets - Part I - Anatomy of a Widget Creating Twitter Bootstrap Widgets - Part II - Let's Assemble Creating Twitter Bootstrap Widgets - Part IIIA - Using Dojo To Bring It Together This is two part of my five part series "Creating Twitter Bootstrap Widgets".   As I mentioned in part one of this series, Twitter Bootstrap widgets are built from a collection standard HTML elements, styled, and programmed to function as a single unit. The goal of this series is to teach you how to create a Bootstrap widget that utilizes the Bootstrap CSS and Dojo. The use of Dojo with Bootstrap is very limited with the exception of Kevin Armstrong who did an incredible job with his Dojo Bootstrap, http://dojobootstrap.com. Our example is a combo box that we are building to replace the standard Bootstrap combo box. In part one, we built a widget that looks like a combo box but did not have a drop down menu associated with it to allow the user to make a select...

Thank you everyone for attending my Engage 2025 session, Visualizing your Domino Data using Open Source Tools. Though I was up against some formidable sessions, I was surprised to have close to 30 attendees in my session. As promised, here is the PowerPoint presentation and sample databases and code. I would like to thank Kris and Tom for an incredible event and for selecting my session for this year's event. They did a wonderful job in continuing the tradition of making Engage a premium event.   After Engage 2025, I spent a day visiting different sites in The Hague.  The walk to the beach was a bit longer than I was told!  https://phoragroup.com/files/Visualize_Your_Domino_Data_with_Open_Source_Tools.pdf https://phoragroup.com/files/engagedemo.zip
