Planning is in full gear for our annual user conference next year, which was renamed Innovate 2010: The Rational Software Conference. The conference will be held June 6-10, 2010 in Orlando, Florida. The Call for Papers is open from now until December 31, 2009. This is a great opportunity to share your experiences and ideas with others. Accepted speakers will receive a full conference pass valued at $1995.00.

This year, in addition to the standard conference tracks, there will be a new track called “Collaborative Application Lifecycle Management”. This track will feature the latest IBM Rational solutions and best practices that ensure effective collaboration, automation, and reporting across the software delivery lifecycle. The focus of this track highlights how teams can deliver more than the sum of their parts through team-based collaboration.

Get a jump start on your submission today by visiting the Innovate 2010 site and exploring the Call for Papers ideas and track descriptions. I hope to see you there!
