SHARE in Orlando - Recap

SHARE’s first conference of 2008 welcomed more than two thousand enterprise IT professionals to sunny Orlando, Florida from February 24-29. Located at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, SHARE provided attendees with a full week of continuous education, networking, professional development training and a first-hand look at product updates.

The week was highlighted by a flurry of IBM announcements including the new z10 processor and a preview of z/OS 1.10 which is planned to be GA in September 2008.

The MVS Program presented over 200 informative sessions, covering a variety of hot zTopics.  Many of our presentations are available for your review in the Orlando proceedings.
