The VM Workshop at GS | Forge 26
GS Forge Logo

The VM Workshop started in 1977 and was revived in 2012 as a nonprofit run by customers, ISVs, and partners who deeply care about and heavily use z/VM, Linux on Z, and VSE (z/VSE and VSEn). Today, it's the most focused, technical z/VM event in the world which is why we're bringing it across the pond to make it easier for z/VM enthusiasts to attend. So this is a shoutout to z/VM users in Great Britain, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and anyone who finds it easier to fly to London than the USA: come join the z/VM community at the GS Forge you won't be disappointed! A dedicated conference track, 18 sessions, and a ton of z/VM love waiting for you.

See you there!
