There are 4 concurrent tracks throughout the day. Your hardest decision may be which sessions to attend.

SPACE IS LIMITED, DON’T DELAY OR YOU WILL MISS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY!

Don’t forget, you can attend any session during any hour that you wish. You are not locked into a "track" or just one speaker. You can go to the session that you are most interested in. Learn what you need to guide your shop into the future on your System i.

There are new features and functions being added to the iSeries at an astounding rate. How can you continue to perform the functions of your existing job, yet at the same time learn about these new iSeries features and functions? Invest in yourself by attending the Seventeenth annual FASUG iSeries Application Development Day. You will learn about: RPG, XML, PHP, Application modernization, i5/OS Upgrades, and strategies to help you in today’s programming environments. These are topics that you and your company can’t afford to miss.

With so many interesting and informative topics to choose from, why not bring the entire staff so you can have someone attend every session? Your investment will pay for itself many times over. Start your System i Technical journey on Tuesday, October 20th with FASUG. Bring a co-worker or bring an iSeries friend.

There are many conferences that are available to educate iSeries professionals. We have taken some of the best topics presented at COMMON by some of the best speakers, added a vendor exhibit and "show & tell" area, wrapped this all into a four track one day format that is within easy commuting distance, all at a very affordable price.
