I think it is important to remember that SHARE serves many audiences ranging from systems programmers to application designers and developers to IT architects to Management.
It is also a great place to get a better understanding of how what each of individually does fits in with the overall picture. After all, we are all getting paid ultimately to improve our organizations' customer service, efficiency, competitiveness, and identify new opportunities. For me, SHARE remains the best one-stop-shopping place for the professional development and networking needs of the entire IT organization.

You can come listen to seasoned professionals who still call MVS "MVS" while, at the same time, preparing yourself for the onslaught of cloud computing.
