Breakout Sessions & Tracks

In 2008, Cognos Forum will offer 130 sessions, delivered by the people who know Cognos, an IBM company, best—the experts who design, build, and support the products, the consultants who specialize in implementing Cognos solutions, and the customers and partners who use Cognos every day.

The sessions are designed for any level of knowledge, from novice to expert. You’ll learn deployment best practices, hear technical tips and techniques, see product overviews, and participate in business strategy sessions across five focused tracks spanning all products and solutions.

"The Cognos Forum breakout sessions gave me a great feel for how my company can better utilize the Cognos product suite."

Frank Grill, Penn National Gaming
