Session highlights

There will be a spotlight session with Haakon Roberts, Director, CTO, on Db2 for z/OS trends and directions and a Db2 13 for z/OS performance monitoring session presented by Akiko Hoshikawa, Db2 for z/OS Development.

On the Db2 LUW/Cloud side, you’ll hear from Mike Springgay, Db2 Architect, on the latest Db2 LUW/Cloud updates and learn about the Db2 AI Query optimizer from Liam Finnie, Senior Software Developer.

Of course, the highlights of every user conference are the customer presentations. There are so many to choose from, I just want to point out a few…

• Ute Kleyensteuber, Commerzbank AG, will focus on her experience with Db2 for z/OS 13
• Thomas Baumann, Data Evangelist, Swiss Mobiliar, who is always interesting to listen to, has two sessions “From the Statement Cache with Love”, and “Diamonds are Forever - Real-World SQL Data Insight Experiences”.
• Tugce Cignakli, DBA, Garanti BBVA Teknoloji, and Maja Adam, Lead Operating Systems Specialist, Zagrebačka banka d.d., will share their experiences with the IBM Db2 Analytics Accelerator in separate sessions.
• Onder Cagatay, System and DB2 Administrator, ISBANK T.A.S, is discussing İsbank's journey leveraging AI to optimize Db2 for z/OS efficiency and performance

Also, scan the schedule for our Gold Consultant’s sessions as they always bring incredible insights to the event.

As the Data Gate product marketing manager, I can’t let an opportunity go by without encouraging you to attend the session, “All you need to know about accessing Db2 for z/OS data in the cloud”. Cuneyt Goksu does a great job of walking you through the family of Data Gate products and the value they deliver.

It would be great to chat with you while you’re in Valencia. Stop by the IBM Booth (#1) to say hello, ask questions and meet our product experts.
