LDUG (London Db2 User Group) is a new user group covering England and Wales and covers all things Db2, and related software. We hold two meetings a year, March and September and these are usually held in London. The group is run by Db2 customers, Business Partners and consultants, but the focus is on customer participation via presentations and group discussion. Subjects are chosen by group participants and speakers are sought from the group or from SMEs in the field. We aim to have both formal presentations and breakout discussions on specific subjects allowing users to share experiences to help others improve, or adopt, processes.
