Why do I see Xing on the registration form instead of IBM?
IBM chose Xing to provide the registration and communications tools for the Greater IBM Connection because of their established capabilities and worldwide reach.
Is my personal information safe?
In short, yes. Xing provides redundant security that meet stringent privacy practices. In addition, you determine in your profile - and in each contact with others - what information you will share and how much of it that contact can see.
Will you ever sell this information to other companies?
Never. Your contact information will only be used to provide the Greater IBM services that you signed up for.
How do I find others who share my interests?
Two tools make this fast and easy. First, build your profile so that like-minded members can let you know about themselves. Second, use the search tools to find others in the Greater IBM - or on Xing - that meet your criteria.
How do I get help planning a local event?
Contact "Greater IBM events" at Greater IBM and we'll provide tools and resources that can help you host a successful event.
I have information I think others would like to have. Will you carry it on The Greater IBM Connection?
We welcome content and story suggestions from the members and each article will be considered on the basis of general interest and appropriateness.
I have some issues I'd like to share. Can I host a Blog for Greater IBMers?
We welcome your interest in communicating to other Greater IBMers and would be happy to work with you on providing a channel for your ideas.
