In addition to your fantasy team, there is also the 2017 Fall COMMON Conference to look forward to in St. Louis from October 2nd through October 4th (plus the preconference sessions that are available on October 1st). This is an incredible opportunity for AS/400 education!

This year, the conference has 39 speakers presenting 100 sessions covering 15 courses of study to help your company leverage the investment in the system and for you to advance your IT career. The courses of study include sessions to enhance your technical skills, such as Application Development, Database (DB2), IT Open Source Languages, IT Strategy, Mobile and Modernization, Security, Systems Management, Web Applications, and RPG IV. Additionally, there are courses of study to improve your “soft” skills, such as Client Relations, Developing Business Skills, and Networking. Participants are welcome to focus on one course of study or to participate in sessions from multiple areas, whichever options fit your needs best.
EXPO
COMMON is expecting another sold-out expo as well! This will give you an outstanding networking opportunity to meet with IBM i vendors, including Silveredge.
