Hello again to our IDUG members all over the world! This month will be IDUG’s second face-to-face conference this year and since 2019. Your IDUG leaders, your fellow Db2 user peers and your partner representatives (formerly known as vendor representatives—see below!) look forward to seeing many of you in just a few weeks’ time in Scotland!

I do have a sneak peek to share with my loyal readers here today. And that is that the board of directors has recently decided that IDUG would…

Hello again to our IDUG members all over the world! Were you with us for the 2022 IDUG North America Db2 Tech Conference last month? If so, thank you so much! Our first-ever hybrid event was a great success. We beat our target for on-site participants. We beat our target for online participants.

Hello again to our IDUG members all over the world! At the moment (although I’m almost hesitant to even say it), it finally does feel like our world may be expanding a bit, after contracting so much as it has over what has now been more than two years of this global pandemic.

Here’s an exciting snapshot of IDUG so far in 2022:

• Two weekends ago, the IDUG Board of Directors held what was only its second face-to-face board meeting in the last two years
• Last weekend, the…

Hello again to our IDUG members all over the world. I know that everyone in the Db2 User community is really excited about 2022. In addition to our plans to return to face-to-face IDUG events this year, this will be a very big year for Db2!

Of course, we hope to see you in person at our Db2 Tech Conferences in Boston and Edinburgh. But if you participated virtually in the 2021 IDUG EMEA conference last December, you already know what will make 2022 so special. IBM will be announcing a…

A very Happy New Year to all of you. I hope everyone had a good break and managed to spend some quality time with family and friends. 

We started 2021 with high expectations of a relatively better year in terms of Covid-19 restrictions. And it was, as vaccinations…

This has opened the doors for IDUG committees to conduct their meetings face to face after almost two years.

As we closed in on summer, ripples of sadness were felt throughout the Db2 community as we grappled with the …
