Signia by Hilton Atlanta / Georgia World Congress Center

IDUG NA 2026 is the North America **Db2 Tech Conference** hosted by the International Db2 Users Group, a not-for-profit, user-run organization dedicated to Db2 education. The event runs Monday, October 26 through Thursday, October 29, 2026, at the Signia by Hilton Atlanta / Georgia World Congress Center. A notable feature of the 2026 edition is that IDUG NA will be co-located with IBM TechXchange, and a single IDUG NA registration provides full access to both events. The conference is built for **Db2 professionals** across both z/OS and LUW (Linux, UNIX, and Windows) platforms — database administrators, developers, architects, data engineers, and IT managers. Technical sessions are organized by theme, allowing attendees to build a custom agenda around their top areas of interest, spanning topics such as AI and machine learning, cloud and data lakes, performance and troubleshooting, security and governance, and SQL and application modernization. Beyond sessions, attendees benefit from expert panels, hands-on labs, an Essentials track for fundamentals, complimentary certification exams, and networking with peers and vendors. Each year IDUG organizes conferences worldwide to support and strengthen the information services community, featuring expert keynote speakers and top professionals leading highly targeted sessions.
