Sessions
We carefully select sessions for the RPG & DB2 Summit to offer attendees depth in a variety of RPG and DB2-related subject areas, including:
- RPG IV
- ILE
- SQL
- DB2 for i
- WDSC, RSE and RDi
- Leveraging RPG for the Web
- IBM i V6R1
Check out the partial list of sessions we have lined up for the next conference. We're
holding several slots in the curriculum open right now so we have room to add the latest, most relevant topics as we get
closer to the event. Sign up for our email alerts if you would like to be
notified when the schedule is finalized.
You may also view sessions by speaker or, if you need some help in deciding which sessions to attend, have a look at the the Session Roadmap.
Does it frustrate you when two of your must-see sessions are 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. The four most requested sessions will earn a place in one
the reserved time slots on Wednesday. (check out the basic 3-day agenda.)
Don't forget the special pre-conference HeadStart Workshops below. These Workshops give attendees a very affordable way to gain in-depth training in a specific subject matter before the main conference begins.
