WebSphere Users flock to Bedfont for this year's winter event!
The successful independent UK WebSphere User Group held another ambitious event on March 3rd 2009 when well over 200 WebSphere users from around the UK converged on IBM's Bedfont Lakes Forum, in London.
This was the 24th meeting of the User Group and further enhanced its reputation as the foremost independent forum for WebSphere Users in the UK and beyond.
Several top international speakers supported the event with presentations and by answering questions from members. The WUG was delighted to welcome Rob High (IBM Fellow, SOA Foundation Chief Architect) making his first visit to the User Group and also Anita Rass Wan (RAD Product Manager, Toronto Lab). Weather conditions at Boston unfortunately prevented David Boloker (Distinguished Engineer, CTO, Emerging Internet Technologies) from attending but he has promised to come for the next WUG event in September. A strong lineup of speakers from the Hursley Laboratory and from IBM consultants, business partners and customers completed a diverse agenda with topics to interest everyone.
