Virtual Db2 User Group

The Virtual Db2 user group is free to its members.

We are pleased that IntelliMagic and Planet Mainframe are able to help us maintain the independence and existence of this group.

Sponsorship opportunity

We are looking for additional co-sponsors for the Virtual Db2 user group.

The user group has been in existence since 2022 and is gaining respect among users of Db2. The user group gives its sponsors an opportunity to show that they are working with, and helping to build, the Db2 user community.

The user group will meet six times a year with a presentation filling most of the meeting. In the other months, members receive a newsletter. And there is a Facebook page, a Twitter feed, and a LinkedIn group keeping members up-to-date with information about new products or product updates, and articles about Db2.
