building connections in their technology
area. Through local User Group events
hosted in-person, virtually or hybrid,
members can stay at the forefront of
product knowledge with updates from IBM
product experts, get hands-on
experience, hear from clients that share
their use cases and solve problems,
bringing immediate value.
Serving
all IBM products, 250+ groups in 30+
