A Mainframe Roundtable: The Leaders [#61]

Date: September 19
Time: 11:00 AM ET | 10:00 AM CT

Let’s face it: the mainframe often gets a bad rap. While it is arguably the most advanced, general-purpose computing platform on the planet, it is too often perceived as old and cumbersome.

We’ve heard from Z Performance experts, System Programmers, and the Next Generation; now let’s hear from the leaders. These are the CEO’s, founders, teachers and executives managing the Z ecosystem today.

Hear from some of the most influential voices in our beloved industry, from how they started, challenges they faced along the way, advice they have for others, and how they see the mainframe industry evolving.
