Frequently Asked Questions

This virtual conference is titled "iADMIN". Does that mean this is only for System Administrators?

Nope! We'd like anyone and everyone to join who works with IBM i or IBM Power Systems. While some content will be more System Admin focused, there will be sessions that others will find helpful as well. Topics will be focused on helpful tips surrounding Cloud, High Availability, Access Client Solutions, NVMe, POWER9 Hardware, Storage, and more.

Do I need to register for the sessions I plan to attend?

One registration will give you access to all sessions. There will be smaller breakout sessions that will require to reserve a seat. But for now, only one registration is necessary.

Do I have to pay to attend iADMIN?

Absolutely not. Our goal is to provide educational content to the IBM i community. This event is no cost to you.

How do I join in on the conference?

Once you register, you should receive an automated email from GoToWebinar with details on how to join. This information will be your ticket to join us virtually for the entirety of iADMIN so it is good to keep it handy.

Will handouts and recordings be available?

Yes. All we ask is you complete a short survey after the conference to gain access to the handouts and recordings.

You mentioned an "iADMIN at Home" kit to be mailed to me? What is this?

In effort to make this conference as close as possible to the in-person conferences we know and love, we'd like to to send you a package that will guide you through the content we're delivering over the two-day event. Please note that in order to receive the kit, you must register by March 15th. If you do not provide your mailing address in the registration form below, we are unable to mail your kit.
