Academic Symposium: Cybersecurity to Gen AI to Quantum Computing in Action

A crew of mainframe educators tapped my shoulder and asked me to share three things…

1. Teaching mainframe skills in university is sexy, and they want to show you why.
2. Mainframes are not going away, and they have examples to share.
3. Employers have high-paying jobs requiring mainframe skills, and your students could fill them.

Join your academic peers so they can show you why teaching mainframe skills in university is both strategic and sexy. Explore examples from Fortune 100s showcasing their investments in AI, app modernization, and more. Hear from hiring managers with open roles your students could fill. More importantly, join a thriving community of deeply technical academics changing the world and preparing the next generation for tomorrow and beyond.
