For the first time, SEB invites you to a unique and exclusive tech Meetup focused on Mainframe and COBOL!
Discover the future of Mainframe and COBOL in modern tech with SEB and our co-host IBM on November 21st at the IBM premises in Kista.
This Meetup is a unique opportunity to dive deep into the platform that continues to run critical business systems worldwide. Mainframe turns 60 this year, but it is still one of the most modern platforms in the world. Mainframe is already leveraging AI and is quantum-safe, we will show you how at the Meet-up. You will also learn how SEB keeps modernizing with new tools (like VS Code), and of course you will connect with professionals and gain insights from industry experts.
This Meetup will be a great opportunity for networking!
Whether you're a seasoned IT professional, new to these foundational technologies, or just curious and want to exchange ideas, this Meetup is for you. It is also free of charge.
Light food and drinks will be served.
