We're excited to see our IDUG Colleagues in 2025!

Happy New Year! We hope those who celebrated had a restful holiday season, and that you all are off to a positive, productive start in 2025.

As we look ahead to upcoming activities, the IDUG Board of Directors wanted to share a quick reminder about attending major IDUG events in person; there will be no virtual participation option for our IDUG Db2 Tech Conferences this year. Increased focus from our event leaders and volunteers will help create an unparalleled on-site event experience for all participants.

We can't wait to see you in person at the next IDUG Db2 event!
