ICON UK 2015

ICON UK will take place on the Monday-Tuesday 21th-22nd of September 2015, in the IBM Southbank Customer Centre.
Join us and up to 200 others to learn, network, share experiences and highlight best practices through 4 tracks.
There's a wide range of technical sessions including some of the latest developments presented by some of the leading speakers in the global IBM community.
It's only rarely that you get so many excellent speakers in one place outside of Connect.

This September at ICON UK, you’ll see room monitors and a special speed-sponsoring group in brightly coloured T-shirts. For the first time, we are joining forces with The Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity. I first heard of this organisation whilst on a charity motorcycle ride from Goa to Kochin called Enduro India 2007. I connected with them when I got home and discovered they were a charity local to me. I’ve been supporting them in one-way or another ever since. Rainbow Trust supports over 25% of the 6,000 families in England who have a child aged 0-18 years of age with a life threatening or terminal illness. They provide support to the whole family 24/7, 365 days a year, by cooking meals, looking after siblings, organising appointments, and much, much more.

This year, there is a registration fee of £50 per attendee. (refunds for speakers will be given). I have the great pleasure of announcing that all profits from ICON UK this year will go to The Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity. At the end of the event, we’ll present a cheque to the Rainbow Trust representatives in attendance. These funds will help the charity reach their goal of providing support to every family who has a terminally ill child.
