GSE UK Virtual Conference 2021
2nd November 2021 - 11th November 2021, 7:00 am - 8:00 pm
With the last year bringing home the need for complete flexibility and things still being very uncertain, we have decided that this year’s conference will again be a virtual event.
While we’re still shaping the final format of conference, we know it will take place over two weeks, from 2-4 and 9-11 November 2021 – so please make a note on your calendar.
Our 2020 online conference Virtually Unstoppable was a huge success, with more than 1,200 attendees and 11,500 session attendances from 37 countries.
Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, for example:
- “Very well presented, with actual tips for changes that can be made”
- “Great information clearly put over”
- “I’ve been a mainframe user for 30 years, and I learned a lot”
- “An example of brilliance, all executed with a smile and incredible knowledge of the subject”
- “An excellent knack of making complexity sound simple”
- “Very insightful and enjoyable”
- “Always brings a unique and helpful dynamic to any conference”
- “Cleared up lots of misconceptions and highlighted some great advantages”
