I posted last week that the IBM MQ development team will be at IBM TechXchange next month in Las Vegas. We now have an agenda for the MQ community day (session 3457) on the Monday. And here it is!

See you there!

11:00 - 11:20   Welcome, introductions, session overview for the day & week: IBM MQ development team

11:20 - 12:00   IBM MQ and Apache Kafka: two designs, two behaviours: David Ware, Distinguished Engineer, CTO, IBM MQ and Event Automation

12:00 - 13:00   Lunch

13:00 - 13:35   Achieving fearless deployment with micro-services architecture and IBM MQ - a real world example

Learn direct from an MQ user how Cloud Pak for Integration and IBM MQ technologies have been fundamental to application modernization and in achieving a sustainable DevOps culture. Hear first-hand how a large multi-national car manufacturer have adopted the mantra of ‘fearless deployment’ to deliver real business agility.

13:35 - 14:10   Work smart with your IBM MQ network: John Carr, TxMQ's IBM Middleware Practice Manager and IBM Champion

This session will feature a section on baseline best practices that apply to nearly all IBM MQ implementations. The content also includes some use cases across a couple of different industries, and concludes with some key considerations for growth of your IBM MQ ecosystem. 

14:10 - 14:45   IBM MQ little gems: Morag Hughson, MQGem Software and Lifetime IBM Champion          

Morag writes regular blog posts on the IBM Community about useful little features of IBM MQ that are often forgotten about, and rarely included in presentations at conferences. In this session she picks a few of her favourites to help to remind you about these very useful little gems of IBM MQ.

14:45 - 15:45   Break & networking opportunity

15:45 - 16:30   Developing IBM MQ: IBM MQ development team

How the MQ development process works from a customer raising a requirement, through to the code being written, tested, documented and released for you to use.

16:30 - 17:30   Ask us anything and reminder of the week ahead: IBM MQ development team
