The spring thaw will be here before we know it, which means the COMMON POWERUp20 Conference is coming up soon! This year’s conference is in Atlanta, GA from April 20th through 23rd. Additionally, there will be preconference sessions on April 19th. This is a great opportunity for AS/400 education and networking!
Overview
Over 100 speakers will present over 350 sessions covering at least 20 areas to help your company leverage your investment in the AS/400 system and for you to advance your IT skills and career. (Yes, we know that it is no longer the AS/400. Problem is: search engines show everyone still searches on AS/400 rather than the re-names!)
There’ll be sessions covering areas to enhance your technical skills, such as: Application Development; Database; Hardware; High Availability Resilience; IFS; IT Strategy; Java Language; Linux; Lotus Collaboration; Middleware; Mobile and Modernization; Open Source Languages; RPG; Security; Systems Management; Virtualization; and Web Applications.
Also, there will be courses to improve your “soft” skills, such as Client Connectivity, Developing Business Skills, IT Leadership and Management, Networking, and Personal Development. Focus on a single area or participate in sessions from multiple areas, whichever works best for you.
EXPO
All of this means this year’s EXPO will be more exciting than ever! EXPO is an incredible networking opportunity to meet with IBM i peers and vendors, including Silveredge. Stop by and say hi to Ambrose Marton, one of the owners of the firm. It’s fun to pose tech questions to him!

Susan Gantner, Jon Paris, and Paul Tuohy will be joined by many industry renowned guest instructors who’ll present nearly 50 sessions over three days in a vast array of pertinent IBM i subjects. These will include the latest methods and best practices for immediate use in IBM i application innovation, web development, and mobile apps.

This experience is energizing and impossible to gain through online information.
