RPG & DB2 Virtual Summit - Fall 2021

View Speakers See the entire Virtual RPG & DB2 Summit line-up below — 5 days of training with an extra day (Tuesday, October 19) dedicated to refreshing prerequisite skills. Each session is presented live with interactive Q&A.

No need to worry about missing out on sessions — recordings will be available through November 30, 2021.

It's true! While System i Developer will continue after Paul's upcoming retirement, these 2023 workshops, now in progress, will be our final live workshop series. But don't worry, you can still register to catch your favorites.

You'll see lots of code examples in the Summit Deep Dive workshops. RPG examples will be coded using free format RPG — including free format data and procedure declarations. For a refresher, attend this free RPG Free Form session, open to all IBM i developers. Then continue your training with your choice of workshops below.
