First Draft of the Schedule for MQTC v2.0.1.7

July 13, 2017 Roger Lacroix

I have posted the first draft of the schedule for MQ Technical Conference v2.0.1.7 (MQTC).

There are some new changes to the schedule:

(1) Both the ‘Open Remarks’ and Mark Taylor’s session ‘What’s New in IBM Messaging’ will be held in Suite 6 of Kilimanjaro Ballroom.

– My ‘Opening Remarks’ will be from 8:15AM to 8:30AM
– Mark Taylor’s session ‘What’s New in IBM Messaging’ will be held from 8:30AM to 9:40AM

There will not be any other sessions during the ‘What’s New in IBM Messaging’ session. Hence, everyone will be able to sit in Suite 6, watch and listen to Mark’s session. 🙂

(2) To not lose 4 sessions because of the exclusive ‘What’s New in IBM Messaging’ session, I have added an extra set of 5 sessions to Wednesday’s schedule. So, now there will be 71 Technical Sessions rather than 70. 🙂
