IDUG (International Db2 Users Group) is excited to return to Europe with the 2022 EMEA Db2 Tech Conference, their first European conference since the start of the global pandemic. This comes just a few short months after their highly successful North American conference in Boston.
IDUG EMEA will be held at the Edinburgh Scotland International Conference Centre on October 22-26, 2022, with in-person attendance and online participation options available. Infotel is a proud sponsor of this important industry event and will also host a speaking slot with Db2 thought leader and author Craig S. Mullins.
IDUG is an independent, not-for-profit, user-run organization whose mission is to support and strengthen the information services community by providing the highest quality education and services designed to promote the effective utilization of Db2.
Especially as the world “re-opens,” events like IDUG EMEA play a crucial role in the Db2 space, giving mainframers a chance to reconnect with so many of their peers, share the most up-to-date information, and participate in educational sessions unavailable anywhere else. It is also a chance for vendors to introduce their newest products and product enhancements and reinforce their presence in the marketplace.
Modernize or Fall Behind
Enterprise modernization isn’t just a buzzword anymore. It’s THE path forward. The “covid years” served to speed up the process exponentially. Gartner reports that 87% of senior executives consider modernization a priority. The question now is “can you keep up?”
Infotel, with our roster of mainframe data management and application development and testing products, remains in lockstep with today’s enterprise modernization initiatives. For more than 40 years, we’ve delivered proven solutions to help Fortune 500 clients improve the delivery of critical Business and IT services for their customers. Solutions that guarantee maximum uptime, maximum efficiency, and maximum IT savings.

Bonus Db2 Coverage from Speaker/Author Craig S. Mullins
In addition to providing major sponsorship support of IDUG EMEA, Infotel will be sponsoring a presentation by one of the top minds in the mainframe space, Craig S. Mullins. Craig’s presentation, titled “Intelligent Automation of Db2 Administration and Management,” will cover topics such as the importance of automation for mainframe database administrators, autonomics and the types of automation, the consequences DBAs face if they don’t adopt a culture of IT automation, and more.
The presentation will be given on October 24th at 3:40 p.m.
