XMILE Events Next Year

[Steven Adler <adler1@us.ibm.com>]

I've had some productive early conversations
with IBM Research Labs in Almaden, CA and Sao Paolo, Brazil.  Both
are interested in hosting an XMILE Customer event.  These are fabulous
locations.  Both of these events would be System Dynamics/Simulation/Big
Data marketing events showing off SD use cases, how these models would
be replicable with XMILE, and how customers can benefit from Simulations
solutions for Big Data.  Almaden was my idea, but Sao Paolo came from
Karim and some folks he knows in Sao Paolo that we met in Cambridge.

Almaden is interested in use cases like
the Portland Smarter Cities Demo IBM did with Forio.com, Healthcare, and
Environment

Sao Paolo is interested in microeconomic
use cases for Energy, Financial Risk Management, and Smarter Cities.

These events could help build market
awareness of XMILE, sell SD Solutions, and increase participation in our
TC.  Even though I can organize the venues, and get some logistical
support, I don't know your industry and use cases as well as you do.  Therefore,
I'd really be grateful for your help.  Could you please share your
ideas for use cases we could demonstrate that would fit into the interest
areas above.  I'd like us all to compare, contrast, discuss, and agree
on the use cases and the overall agenda so it represents our best ideas.

We can discuss this at the end of our
next call.  Looking forward to your feedback.


Best Regards,

Steve
