i-UG is a not-for-profit organisation that usually meets up to 4 times per year for a physical conference. One of these conferences is a multi-day, multi-stream event at a conference location somewhere in the UK. In 2020, COVID-19 presented us with a new challenge.  We couldn’t hold a physical conference so developed our first Virtual Conference.  It was a great success, but we did miss the in-person element.  As we go forward, we will persevere by initially creating a Physical conference, and then augment this with a Virtual element.  If govenrment changes push us to abandon the Physical part of the conference, we will fall back on the Virtual content.  The conference in Wolverhampton is a development of these and we are looking forward to getting back to our roots.

As with all our conferences, this Conference offers members and visitors the opportunity to listen to top level speakers from: IBM, Business Partners, the vendor community and users themselves and gather real information to assist in key decision making about IT and business in general. From the AS/400 through the iSeries, on through System i and POWER Systems, our members are kept up-to-date with IBM thinking and technology emergence that is relevant to their businesses. Read on…
