The Lotusphere Business Partner Sales and Marketing Café is the opportunity for IBM Business Partners to meet with IBM program experts in their respective areas of the business to discuss IBM PartnerWorld benefits, offerings and programs in order to best align your business activities for 2008. Come to the Café to drink your cappuccino, read your e-mail and learn how to leverage IBM's programs to help you grow your business and build your Marketing Plan for 2008. If you do not know what programs you should be interested in, then we will be happy to assist you to determine what fits your needs and arrange for you to speak to the right program experts.
