2015 Contestant Topics...
We have contestants from Finland, New Zealand, Mexico, India, Austria, Iran, and Japan! We're apparently running the worldwide DB2 Olympics without any USA or Canada representation! 
As with past contests, attendees can expect a buffet of helpful topics like:
- inline UDFs
- Performance Optimization of SAP
- Tips about DB2 messages
- Simulating environments for performance
- SQL Problem determination
- I/O optimization
- DB2 locking analysis and tips
- Federated DB2 Performance
- Lessons learned while upgrading DB2
- DB2 10.5 high availability via OS cluster
- DB2 z/OS DBA shares DB2 LUW 10.5 Experiences
Know DB2? IBM BLU? Watson? DashDB? We need you!
Please SUBMIT an APPLICATION to participate! The DB2 Community Grows when people share what they know - and that's good for all of our careers!
Frankly, every year it seems to get harder to find participants. Is there DB2 talent out there? Has everyone switched to other databases? Is anyone in the USA or Canada using DB2?
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Kindest regards,
