IBM Boulder welcomes SHPE-NTCC participants to the scenic foot of the Rocky Mountains!  From a distant past as a manufacturing facility, IBM Boulder has evolved into a site housing more than 20 IBM organizations, from the world headquarters for printing products to some of the company's most sophisticated services, software delivery, systems integration and consulting groups. IBM Boulder celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2005, and our future is bright, with about 4,000 regular employees.

Your IBM visit begins Thursday, Jan. 11, when a charter bus will pick you up 7:30 a.m. at the Hyatt Hotel Lobby, with arrival at the IBM Boulder site at  8:30 a.m.  You should be ready to go by 7:15 a.m.  You will be met by a helpful IBM Boulder employee, who will escort you to the site's cafeteria for refreshments and a kickoff event featuring fellow SHPE member Renato Recio, chief engineer of e-system networks, IBM Systems &Technology Group.  As the day's keynote speaker, you will enjoy hearing Renato's professional development story, and will have the opportunity to interact with him during a luncheon roundtable session.  Post-lunchtime activities will include tours of the IBM Boulder Business Continuity and Resiliency Services Center, the IBM Printing Systems Division Boulder InfoPrint Center and the IBM Boulder Central Power Plant.  Your bus will then depart IBM Boulder at 3:15 p.m. and arrive at the Denver Convention Center at approximately 4:15 p.m.  We look forward to hosting you in Boulder!
