GSE Nordic Region Conference 2026 9th June-11th June Helsinki, Finland

Welcome

Dear colleague,

The GSE Nordic Region invites attendees to the Nordic Region Conference in Helsinki, Finland, at Clarion Hotel Helsinki from June 9th to 11th, 2026.

GSE Nordic Region Working Groups consist of information technology specialists who focus on the mainframe platform and hold regular meetings. The groups aim to provide members with opportunities for networking and sharing ideas and experiences. They collaborate with IBM and other vendors to develop expertise and contribute to advancements in data processing, particularly within areas pertinent to IBM software.

Four working groups—CICS, Db2, IMS, and Mainframe Infrastructure—are jointly organizing the annual Region Conference. The event covers topics across the enterprise IT landscape, with emphasis on mainframe platforms as reliable back-end solutions, including transactional, database, and infrastructure components, alongside an Application Development Track.

The conference is designed both for product specialists seeking technical depth and for application developers, architects, and managers interested in updating their knowledge of new mainframe features. Sessions will generally be conducted in English; however, users may share experiences in their native languages as this is a user-focused conference.

The event provides an opportunity for individuals new to the mainframe platform to interact with specialists and learn about various capabilities, techniques, and practices. GSE is a non-profit membership organization, and all conference participants are expected to represent a member company, organization, or be individual members. Those not yet affiliated can use the conference to learn about GSE and its activities.

The GSE Nordic Region Conference Steering Committee welcomes participation in Helsinki.
