Lionel -- I've been attending z/Expo (now System z Expo) as a speaker since 1999. I don't believe there is an online tool, though they have very good printed agenda when you arrive onsite. There are not as many subject areas as at Share: z/OS, z/VM, z/VSE and Linux. Within these areas sessions are categorized into 12 groups such as G: General System z Technology, Z: z/OS System Software and Parallel Sysplex, P: WLM and z/OS Performance, W: z/OS Transactions, DB and Networking, L: Linux on System z, etc.
The 'big' difference is that some of the very popular sessions are repeated during the week. For example Kathy Walsh from the Washington System Center is presenting "WSC z/OS Performance Hot Topics" on Wednesday at 4:10 and Thursday at 2:35. Peter Enrico is presenting "WLM - Revisiting Goals in 2008" on Wed at 10:15 and Thur at 1pm. Sessions are 1h15m long. I add pages to my sessions and can cover more in the session than at Share. There usually is (and I'm told there will be) a wireless connection available throughout the conference area. I don't believe the sessions are online, but you'll receive a CD of the entire conference which I often view and take notes on during sessions rather than the paper handouts. They are in PDF format, so to take notes on the files, you need some additional software. I use Adobe Acrobat, but they may be other tools.
