IBM zSystems Mainframe- Unleash The Power Workshop

By Devonte' Hawkins posted Wed May 04, 2022 04:33 PM

  
Thomas J. Watson suggested that one should "Make friends who will force you to level yourself up." It's moments like these that I will always cherish as an IBM zSystems Ambassador Captain. We had a fantastic mainframe workshop. We learned about everything from enterprise computing to the new IBM z16 System. One of the important things I took away from this workshop was from Paul Newton from IBM, who told us to "Think big, but start small" and "always take advantage of new opportunities." Thank you so much, @Paul Newton & @Lavisha Bugreja, for speaking. Both of you were amazing. I also want to thank @Lucas Sahn, @Collins Ronoh, and @Rachel Head for all of your help and support and for making this workshop a success.  I'm so thrilled I can continue to educate, grow, and spread my knowledge about IBM and I can't wait for the next workshop!

It's very important what you do Devonte', you make such an impact on the community!
One question I have, based on your experience, what tips can you give us ambassadors for running our first physical event?;)
