Next week, SHARE is taking over Cleveland, Ohio, and we’re bringing the party to Booth #612! If you’re going to be there, here’s what we’ve got planned:
Celebrating the 2025 Influential Mainframers
All week long, we’ll be honoring this year’s Influential Mainframers. If you’re on the list, please swing by for a photo and pick up your commemorative pin. Not on the 2025 list? Meet the folks who are making waves in the mainframe world.
Planet Mainframe Turns 10!
Planet Mainframe is officially a decade old this fall, and we’re celebrating our birthday right at the booth. Stop by, share your favorite PMF memory, and help us mark the milestone. There might be party hats…
Tuesday Night Trivia
We’re hosting mainframe trivia on Tuesday night in the exhibit hall. Go head-to-head with Mark Wilson, “That British guy who does security.” You could win a gift card worth $10 to $100. It’s fast, fun, and full of bragging rights.
Passport Surprises
We’re part of SHARE’s Passport Surprises, so bring your passport to Booth #612 for a stamp. Complete your passport and you’ll be entered to win our prize: a YETI Crossroads 22L Backpack.
Catch the Planet Mainframe zRoadshow
Mark Wilson, editor of Cheryl Watson’s Tuning Letter, will lead the Planet Mainframe zRoadshow Summer 2025 on Thursday, August 21, from 10:00 – 11:00 am in Center Street Room A. Don’t miss this session; it’s always sharp, always practical.
See You Soon
Come by Booth #612, say hi, stamp your passport, take a pic, and help us celebrate. We can’t wait to see you!
