Agenda from April 2009 Summit

For our April 2009 event, we had three full days of RPG and DB2-focused education lined up for you, sprinkled with plenty of opportunities to network with speakers, other attendees, and the vendors whose products make our jobs easier. Please see the "Week-at-a-Glance" schedule below or view the Session Grid for a complete list of sessions and abstracts.

Each conference day consisted of four tracks running consecutively - three with an RPG focus and one purely devoted to DB2 and SQL topics.

Four in-depth, pre-conference Headstart Seminars were available on Tuesday, April 14. Attendees chose up to two seminars from HTML/Javascript/CSS for RPG Developers, All You Need to Know About SQL in 4 Hours, PHP for RPG Developers and Tuning SQL for Optimal Performance for a fee of only $325.
