Dawn May announced as keynote presenter by i-UG
The final i-UG conference of 2016, set to take place on Wednesday 19th October in Wolverhampton, will be opened by Dawn May, of IBM, speaking about the changing landscape of IBM i.
Dawn will cover the latest trends and directions for IBM i users, and the latest IBM i roadmap, as well as reviewing some of the key technologies that have been added. In this keynote speech, Dawn will also give real-world examples of clients who have succeeded with IBM i.
i-UG’s October IBM i user group conference will be the first time in two years that Dawn has spoken at i-UG, though she is a well-known industry commentator and presenter. We are looking forward to learning what she has to say on the future trends and directions of IBM i, and how the latest additions can make organisations more successful.
