Db2 for i’s unique integration with the IBM i operating system means you do less managing of your database and more building of applications for analytics\, mobile\, cloud\, or day to day operational purposes. This session provides an introduction into the world of Db2 for i\, including discussion around its core features and capabilities\, along with a discussion of the many unique features that make Db2 for i so powerful. \n Register URL:https://www.common.org/event/n2i-getting-started-with-introduction-to-db2-for-i/ LOCATION:Zoom END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260914T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260914T180000 DTSTAMP:20260911T113331Z CREATED:20260813T143901Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260911T113331Z UID:13572-1789405200-1789408800@www.common.org SUMMARY:N2i Getting started with: Introduction to Command Line tooling in IBMi DESCRIPTION:N2i getting started with: Introduction to Command Line tooling in IBMi\nSpeaker: Arpita MohantyDate: September 14th\, 2026Time: 5:00 PM (CT) \nThis session is a dive into IBMi Command Line tooling with a hands-on introduction and its role in the OS.

Critical system events\, performance degradation\, and application failures can quickly impact productivity\, uptime\, and business operations. The challenge is identifying and responding to these issues before they escalate. \nIn this webinar\, we’ll discuss how absMessage helps organizations reduce administrative overhead\, improve operational efficiency\, and maximize system availability. By automating monitoring\, alerting\, and response processes\, absMessage enables teams to address issues before they become critical\, while intelligent escalation ensures the right personnel are notified at the right time. From routine operational tasks to major system events\, absMessage helps IT departments maintain visibility\, reduce workload\, and keep IBM i environments running at peak performance. \nJoin SEA on September 30th at 11AM CT to learn more. \n \n Register\n \nFree Courtesy of\n \n \n \n Ken McCalister has spent 35 years working with IBM i technology.

Drawing from real-world experience\, this session explores how conferences\, mentorship\, community involvement\, and side projects can accelerate growth and create meaningful career opportunities. \nAttendees will learn how to engage strategically at IBM i events\, approach interviews with confidence\, identify skill gaps\, and build credibility within the community. The session also addresses common misconceptions about networking and professional development in the IBM i world. \nParticipants will leave with clear\, actionable steps they can immediately apply to strengthen their career trajectory and become active contributors to the IBM i ecosystem. \n \n Register URL:https://www.common.org/event/n2i-what-i-wish-i-knew-when-i-started-my-ibm-i-career/ LOCATION:Zoom END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20261026 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20261030 DTSTAMP:20260519T122433Z CREATED:20260519T122220Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260519T122433Z UID:12797-1792972800-1793318399@www.common.org SUMMARY:NAViGATE at TechXChange DESCRIPTION: URL:https://www.common.org/event/navigate-at-techxchange/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20261102T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20261102T130000 DTSTAMP:20261007T204716Z CREATED:20260615T123125Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261007T204716Z UID:13119-1793620800-1793624400@www.common.org SUMMARY:N2i Getting started with: IBM i Git projects in VS Code DESCRIPTION:N2i Getting started with IBM i Git projects in VS Code\nSpeaker: Sebastien JulliandDate: November 2\, 2026Time: 12:00 PM (CT) \nVS Code has become the go to IDE to get development done on IBM i. It let’s you work with project traditionally hosted on IBM i\, but the next step forward is it to get these projects into Git. And using Code for IBM i\, it’s as simple as with any other morden language. \nThis session will cover the basics of Code for IBM i and focus on how to work with an IBM i project hosted on Git from VS Code: \n– How to compile from VS Code \n– Which tools to use to manage and build a Git project \n– Which extensions can help with Git and IBM i \n \n Register URL:https://www.common.org/event/getting-started-with-ibm-i-git-projects-in-vs-code/ LOCATION:Zoom END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20261117 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20261119 DTSTAMP:20261005T152130Z CREATED:20260630T133714Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261005T152130Z UID:13254-1794873600-1795046399@www.common.org SUMMARY:iPOWER 2026 DESCRIPTION: URL:https://www.common.org/event/common-latin-america-2026/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20261207T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20261207T180000 DTSTAMP:20261021T131745Z CREATED:20261021T130940Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261021T131745Z UID:14460-1796662800-1796666400@www.common.org SUMMARY:N2i: New to IBM i Security?
