COMMON has unveiled a new product, COMMON LIVETRACK, to further provide more virtual education options to the Power Systems community. This new product will allow those who are not able to attend the upcoming COMMON Annual Meeting and Exposition in Minneapolis to still be a part of the largest gathering of the Power Systems user community. Anyone in the world will be able to stream the opening session, which officially kicks off the annual meeting, live to their computer, and hear and see what’s new and exciting in COMMON and IBM.
In addition to the free live streaming of opening session, LIVETRACK will also offer a cost-effective option to stream nine education sessions directly from the COMMON Annual Meeting.
