In the technical sessions and in the exhibit hall, IBM products and technologies are integrated with those of our Business Partners. Solutions arms you with answers to issues surrounding the future of enterprise infrastructure, integration, open standards, and interoperability. Come meet with those leading this charge, and learn about technical solutions that use Linux, XML, Java(tm), Web Services and wireless technologies. Get in-depth training in hands-on labs covering XML/XSL, EJBs, JSPs, servlets and more. Choose from over 240 technical elective sessions. At this year's conference, you will see a practical showcase of IBM's emerging technologies in a car, code named "alphaWorks TechMobile." The alphaWorks TechMobile is powered by TSpaces, ViaVoice(tm), and Bluetooth(tm) platforms.
