<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Default Sans Sarif"">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.<br>
</span><br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Default Sans Sarif"">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 </span><a href="file:///C:/Users/IBM_ADMIN/AppData/Local/Temp/notes32C5CD/www.ibm.com/events/Z2017"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Default Sans Sarif"">www.ibm.com/events/Z2017</span></b></a><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Default Sans Sarif"">
