Sessions

We carefully select sessions for the RPG & DB2 Summit to offer attendees depth in a variety of RPG and DB2 development: Based on growing interest, we've added sessions on Mobile Applications and Business Analytics on IBM i to the following topics:

RPG IV and ILE
Embedded SQL
SQL Tuning
DB2 for i Capabilities
Application Modernization
Leveraging RPG for the Web
PHP for RPGers
Database Modernization
RSE, Navigator and other modern tools

Check out the PARTIAL list of sessions we have lined up for the next conference. We're holding several slots in the curriculum open right now so we have room to add the latest, most relevant topics as we get closer to the event. Sign up for our email alerts if you would like to be notified when the schedule is finalized.

You may also view sessions by speaker or, if you need some help in deciding which sessions to attend, have a look at the the Session Roadmap.

The optional pre-conference Seminars & Hands-On Workshops give attendees a very affordable way to gain in-depth training on specific skills before the Summit begins.
