About us
Formed in 2018, Mainframerz is a community of app devs, sys progs, and anyone else with an interest in IBM Z and the mainframe. We're probably the largest global mainframe/ Z group on Meetup. In 2022 we hit a milestone of 1000 members and are continuing to grow. It is an exciting time to be working on the mainframe!
We started as a London based group but since Covid we focused efforts running online events, typically once a quarter, where anyone can join from around the world. In November 2022 we will be running our first hybrid event, with opportunity to join in person at a London location, or alternatively join and participate online.
Join us for talks, networking, demos, panels, discussions and workshop events. Get to know like-minded people who are also passionate about the mainframe (and when we get to meet in person, there will be plenty of pizza!)

Mainframerz: Back 2 Basics
·OnlineOnlineMainframerz is Back to Basics on Thursday December 10th.
This virtual event is free and open to anyone with an interest in the Mainframe.
Based on your feedback, our next Mainframerz event will be a refresher to what the mainframe is, the key products that run on the Mainframe and how they all work together.
The format of the event is still being shaped but we will start with an interactive quiz, then have several short lightning talks followed by some time of Q&A.
As always the event will be fun, informal, engaging and interactive. Everyone is welcome whether your background is the Mainframe, or not and want to find out more.
Please help spread the word of this event by sharing through LinkedIn, Meetup and your work channels.
