Join us each month to talk all things IBM Z Advocacy! The series of events are an open forum about everything you need on your Advocacy Journey.
We cover different topics each month and bring special guests to share how advocacy has helped them advance in their career, give us tips and tricks on what has helped them on their journey, challenges they have faced and how they overcome them, everything you need to know to become a true IBM Z Advocate!
We share updates about the platform, live demos of key functionalities, share feedback and foster open communication and questions from our advocates so we can make the platform and program better together.
Catch up on sessions you've missed by watching replays of past sessions and downloading PDFs of the presentation materials.
Join the Fans of IBM Z User Group to be among the first to know about upcoming events, watch the recordings as soon as they are uploaded, get updates about advocacy and engage with other participants.
