i-Community Events
Face-to-face meetings
We run two meetings a year: a Spring meeting in the UK, and our annual trip to the IBM Rochester, Minnesota development laboratories, the home of IBM i.
The Spring meeting focuses on one or more topics of particular current interest to the group; a full day of sessions is preceded by dinner and overnight stay.
The Rochester trip includes three days of interactive sessions with top IBMers on all the key IBM i infrastructure and development topics.
