    I'm wondering what type of sessions I can expect to get from the conference related to the mainframe, specifically mainframe storage?  I'm wondering if this conference is worth it for me, as a mainframe systems programmer for storage.

    Hi Nick!

    I am trying to find the detailed agenda so I can submit justifications for our group to join you in Orlando.  Is there an agenda available for people that have not registered yet?
