North America IBM Z Customer Councils
The IBM Z Customer Councils first began in 2004 as a small mainframe user group of less than 10 people. Members met to share experiences with one another and learn about new capabilities on IBM Z. Today, IBM Z Councils are held in dozens of cities across North America and have reached thousands of mainframe users. The overarching goals of the IBM Z Council are to Engage, Enable and Empower its members.
