Lotusphere 2008 Opening General Session
The session started out like always. We entered the room that the house lights were down and the "Rock Star" element was in place. The band was playing and the canned lights were flaring all over the room. When the session started we were entertained by the Orlando Symphony Orchestra and then Mike Rhodin took the stage to speak about this years theme for Lotusphere, "Emergence". Mike then introduce this years speaker, Bob Costas, who was greated by a smattering of applause. Mike Rhodin then took the stage again to announce the newest business ventures. Among those were upcoming projects with RIM and project "Atlantic" with SAP.
