A new COMMON educational seminar, COMMON Focus 2007, designed as a workshop conference event on System i education, will be held Oct. 14û17 in Columbus, Ohio. This event, which planners expect will be held annually, will provide three days of intense, focused education.
COMMON Focus 2007 will be a smaller, more intimate event than a traditional COMMON conference with a limited number of attendees allowing for more one-on-one interaction with the speakers and other attendees.
There will be 15 in-depth, all-day educational workshops offeredùboth in lab- and lecture-style formatsùon a wide range of topic areas.
People can attend only one workshop per day, which is intended to provide them with the opportunity to focus their educational needs on a specific topic each day.
Workshops offered will include the following:
Day 1
Day 2
Day 3
The conference also will feature a tabletop-style exhibition area featuring a limited number of exhibitors. Attendees will be able to view and get hands-on demonstrations on the latest System i-related solutions available to them.
