For this festival, we will be taking over IBM Expert TV. Subscribe to IBM Expert TV and gather with our IBM Community of over 250,000 IBM users that brings together a global network of the world’s foremost technologists. This five-day festival will have days dedicated to user groups, the IBM Loyalty program, IBM experts, and our Cloud Without Compromise program with an opening keynote presentation by Rob Thomas, Senior Vice President of IBM Global Markets. We couldn’t be more excited to bring you the very best that the IBM Community has to offer.
Join us live in three different geographies
This isn’t your normal festival. What makes it different? We've arranged our festival so that it will be live in three different regions. You won't be watching recordings from Los Angeles, Tokyo or Sydney; you'll be participating along with everyone else no matter where you are. We are experts together everywhere. Subscribe to IBM Expert TV and join us.
This time, users take the stage.

When setting up your technical strategy, stop choosing between agility or security, openness or privacy, replatforming or refactoring. You don’t have to compromise. Join IBM experts, customers, and partners and build your schedule with over 20 sessions covering application modernization, hybrid cloud and DevSecOps.
Throughout the event, our IBM Champions—the top experts and advocates across IBM products and offerings—will be available to help you make the best decisions regarding IBM products. These customers, partners, and academics will share their authentic experiences through multiple sessions and activities teaching everything they know to make your business strategy a winning one.
