  • Four Hundred Monitor, October 10

    October 10, 2018 Jenny Thomas

    With Fall COMMON conference right around the corner in Steel City beginning on October 15, now seems like a good time to remind ourselves why it is important to stay on top of new technology and use your voice to participate in our IBM i ecosystem. Without the opportunity to learn from experts and trade ideas, any industry runs the risk of fading away. While COMMON offers all sorts of hands-on sessions and group discussion panels to feed your IBM i needs, travel isn’t always plausible due to things like work, money, and family obligations. Even if you can’t get to COMMON this time, there are lots of options to keep your skills relevant and participate in your community. Webinars bring sessions to you, and you have the ability to reach directly out to experts via social media. We use Twitter to “listen in” on our community and share our knowledge. Jump into the conversation with us, and give us a follow at @ITJungleNews.
