Upcoming events and webcasts

I thought I might give you a new summary of some upcoming events and webcasts.

IBM Events in Belgium : Total Solutions event
September 24-25, 2013 - Brussels forum

I guess this is the most important one for us in Belgium for the moment. I already wrote about it over here. You can find all information and a detailed agenda over here. If you haven't done so, the only thing you still have to do is register for the event. The only thing I see different from the previous years is that there is no longer a zEnterprise Technical track. So, apparently no track on the zBC12 as there was one last year on the zEC12.

GSE Meetings in Belgium

I have the impression that the Total Solutions event kind of absorbs all Q3 GSE working group meetings, but I can already give you a couple of dates for Q4 sessions.

November 28, 2013 - GSE DB2/IMS Working Group Meeting
KBC Leuven
Information will be added here as soon as it's available.


December 11, 2013 - GSE z/OS Working Group Meeting
RealDolmen Huizingen
No additional information for the moment.

DB2Night Shows

You know the DB2Night shows by now. You can find the entire agenda of (already) Season 5 over here. There's a LUW part and a z/OS part. I'll give you some of the z/OS shows.
