100% Pure RPG & DB2 Curriculum

Learn everything you need to know to achieve peak RPG and DB2 efficiency with your applications. You'll hear the latest on RPG, ILE, DB2 and SQL, as well as how and why to use advanced features. You'll go deep into tips and techniques that help you work smarter and faster. You'll find out how WDSc and RSE can become an RPGer's best friend. Move over Java and .NET - there's no room for you in this curriculum! Learn more about the sessions

Immediately Applicable Knowledge

We're not here to talk theory or predict development trends five years from now. What you'll pick up is information you can take back to the office and use immediately on current projects. Yes, we'll give you sound advice on the best way to architect your applications for future flexibility (hint: you need to embrace RPG IV, WDSc and SQL), but you won't hear us say that your future is to switch to Java. Your future starts with fully exploiting the power of RPG!

Interactive, Expert Instructors

We've pulled together the premier gurus in the industry to bring you the latest intelligence on all the technologies that matter to you most. You won't find ivory tower experts here! We thrive on meeting people who share our enthusiasm for System i development and on brainstorming ways to solve sticky challenges. You'll have plenty of opportunities to chat with us and get expert advice. Learn more about the speakers

Networking Opportunities

We've scheduled lunches, breaks, cocktails, and dinners to maximize the time you can spend networking with the speakers, your peers, and the vendors who support System i development. You'll be surprised how much you can learn by talking with a diverse group of people, all keen on improving the use of RPG and DB2. Sharing ideas keeps your job fun and the System i community vital.

Concise, 3-Day Agenda

Can't afford to dedicate 5 days to a conference? The RPG & DB2 Summit offers a concise agenda that delivers significant detail on all of the topics relevant to you in just three days. Hey, a conference that's as efficient as RPG itself! Learn more about the agenda
