Agenda
We're busy lining up three full days of RPG and DB2-focused education 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 list of sessions and abstracts. Please note that we are saving several session slots to
accommodate late-breaking topics, so you will see several sessions added to our line-up closer to the actual event.
Each conference day will consist of four tracks running consecutively - three with an RPG focus and one purely
devoted to DB2 and SQL topics. As always happens at a conference, two of your must-see sessions will inevitably be scheduled for the same time.
At the RPG & DB2 Summit, you can vote for sessions you would like repeated on the last day of the conference. You will be contacted shortly
before the event to cast your vote for repeat sessions. The four most requested sessions will earn a place on the final day.
HeadStart Workshops
You can extend your education by attending one or two optional half-day pre-conference HeadStart Workshops on Sunday, October 19. Chose from
Morning ( 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.)
