What we’re about
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!)
