Where's Sam? Not At PartnerWorldWord is IBM chairman and CEO Sam Palmisano will skip this year's PartnerWorld event in Las Vegas, just as he did last year. Robert Faletra doesn't like it one bit. "His decision to skip out for a second straight year is disheartening not only to the partners but to those inside the IBM channel organization who work extremely hard at making the IBM channel work. IBM spends millions of dollars pulling off the PartnerWorld event each year. If it’s worth that kind of time, money and effort on the part of the organization to hold it, then it’s worth a day of the CEO’s time to fly to Las Vegas, give a speech and meet with some very important customers."
