The VM Workshop is a non-profit organization of customers, ISVs, and business partners that holds a workshop on z/VM, z/VSE, and Linux on Z every year.

This year the VM Workshop 2020 took place from Tuesday 6/16 to Friday 6/19/2020 as a virtual event due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The presentations are available in the 2020 Presentation Archive on the VM Workshop web site. The session recordings are available on the VM Workshop YouTube channel. It also provides playlists of the recordings related to z/VM, z/VSE, and Linux on Z.
