What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas – or so they say. But, that’s not going to be quite true for IBM’s Information on Demand Conference on 24-28 October at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Resort.

The IOD conference is packed with a broad range of technical sessions, business sessions, hands-on labs, and lots of networking opportunities. More than 160 customer speakers will present their first-hand experiences with IBM Software. For example, one customer will talk about their migration of an XML database application from Oracle to DB2 9.7 (session TLU-2928A). And then there is the Expo, where an impressive set of business partners shows their solution and services.

DB2 pureXML is going to be well represented at the conference, most notably with a set of hands-on labs for both DB2 on Linux, Unix, Windows and DB2 for z/OS. Some of the labs you can choose from include:

HOL 1468 – PureXML for DBAs: Setup and Storage for OLTP and Warehouse
HOL 1480 – Creating XML Solutions with DB2 pureXML
HOL 1152 – Learning pureXML in DB2 for z/OS with IBM Optim Development Studio
HOL 1170 – Learning SQL/XML with CLP and SPUFI
HOL1391  – New Features and Enhancements in IBM DB2 10 for z/OS
HOL1409 – Getting Started with IBM DB2 for z/OS pureXML for DBAs and Developers

Whether you attend presentations, roam around in the Expo, or gain practical skills in the hands-on labs, I’m sure you’ll take a home a wealth of valuable information. So, a lot of what happens in Vegas next week is not going to stay in Vegas…
