Lombardi: Driven to Impact 2010

We are extremely excited to have had such a tremendous presence at Impact 2010.  The impressive conference of more than 6,000 registrants took place at the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada May 2-7, 2010.

Welcome Keynote

We kicked off the week with Lombardi Day, a special Lombardi Driven event specifically for Lombardi customers and partners. Lombardi and IBM leaders  were on-site to provide an executive update on the state of Lombardi as well as a status on the acquisition and how Lombardi will fit within the IBM WebSphere portfolio.

As the week progressed, Lombardi was recognized as the leader in BPM technology with exposure in multiple main stage keynotes, conference sessions, meet the expert demos and open labs often resulting in larger than expected turnouts.  Perhaps the best highlight was when Beth Smith, WebSphere VP of Development, gave a live demo of Blueprint during the Day 2 Keynote.
