The Common Europe Congress 2023 in Prague hosted around 400 international attendees steeped in IBM Power Systems from 11 June to 14 June. This was my first visit to a Common Europe event, and I was greatly impressed. The organization was tight, the venue world-class, and the level of enthusiasm among the participants high. The sessions were interesting and useful. When I asked various persons what they most got out of the Congress, at the top of everyone’s list was the interpersonal networking. My 2 favorite sessions were: Microservices on IBM i by Niels Liisberg of System & Metode A/S…
