Throughout our centennial year of 2011, IBM hosted colloquia discussions and a series of lectures exploring how the world has changed in the past 100 years—and how it will change in the decades ahead.
Our research colloquia engaged IBM experts with thought leaders in local communities where we do business in a future-focused discussion to explore the future of a Smarter Planet.
Our lecture series engaged next-generation leaders in a discussion about what 100 years has taught us about driving progress in business technology and society.
IBM Research conducted a series of compelling presentations and panel discussions, hosted at IBM Research labs around the world.
