[Eecs_bscs] Special limited invitation: Student MtM meetup in Columbus Oct 24th

Mon Oct 16 15:24:21 EDT 2017

We still have room for more students to attend this special event at Barley's Brewing Company on October 24th.

Why should students attend?

  *   Learn about the latest technologies such as Pervasive Encryption<https://www.wired.com/story/ibm-z-mainframe-encryption/> and Machine Learning<https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/02/16/ibm_machine_learning_watson_mainframe/>.
  *   Meet top technical and executive representatives from companies such as JP Morgan Chase, Nationwide, Fiserv, Morgan Stanley and Huntington Bank.
  *   Demonstrate their ability to quickly learn new technologies by participating in Master the Mainframe<https://masterthemainframe.com/> right in front of potential employers.

If you or your students are interested in attending, please register at www.ibm.com/events/Z2017<file:///C:/Users/IBM_ADMIN/AppData/Local/Temp/notes32C5CD/www.ibm.com/events/Z2017> immediately to reserve your seat. Space is limited and seats are on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Prior to attending, students also need to:

  *   Register for Master the Mainframe at masterthemainframe.com
  *   Install the pre-req software on their laptops (you'll need to bring a laptop with you) following the instructions at http://mtm2017.mybluemix.net/connectivity_guide/connectivity_guide_software.html
  *   They are allowed, and encouraged, to start the contest prior to the event. We'll have staff available to help you through any questions, so it's wise to leverage that help for the harder parts of the contest.

Thanks,
Misty

________________________________

We have a special event for clients in the Columbus area to learn about the new z14, including the game-changing Pervasive Encyrption. I would like to make sure that your students have a chance to take advantage of this unique opportunity. We're organizing a meetup for students to go through our Master the Mainframe contest from 2:00 to 3:30pm, just before the official client event. At 3:30pm, the students are invited to join the clients to learn about this world class server and mingle with top executives from some of the area's biggest employers. We did this in Chicago last week and an executive from one of the companies attending offered an internship to whichever student finished Part 2 of the contest first! I'm hoping the executives attending the Columbus event are equally impressed with your students.

We have limited space for students and faculty to participate in this meetup, so be sure to register quickly if you can participate. Anyone wishing to attend (including you) should register for the client portion of the event at www.ibm.com/events/Z2017<file:///C:/Users/IBM_ADMIN/AppData/Local/Temp/notes32C5CD/www.ibm.com/events/Z2017> . I hope you or someone from your team is able to join us.

Here's a short invitation you can send to students.
