On March 4th the next SHARE® conference starts in Orlando Florida.  SHARE is an independent volunteer-run information technology association that provides education, and opportunities to network and influence the IT community.  The organization started in 1955 and has been a valuable organization for IBM Z.  To learn more visit www.share.org.
