The IBM i team is announcing a series of Guided Tours on important IBM i topics. These Guided Tours are intended for IBM and Business Partner sellers and technical sellers. Customers are also welcome to attend the Guided Tour sessions.

IBM i teams often rely on a combination of platform-native tools, scripts, APIs, monitoring products, ticketing systems, and enterprise automation platforms to keep critical environments running. Join Erik O'Neill, Senior Product Manager, Banking and Application Modernization, IBM Power; and Hari Muralidharan, Senior Technical Staff Member, Systems Management Architect, IBM Power; for an IBM i Guided Tour exploring how IBM Concert and the IBM Concert platform can help connect operational context with coordinated automation across applications, infrastructure, security, and operations. The session will examine potential IBM i use cases such as orchestrating existing scripts and playbooks, responding to events, coordinating cross-platform remediation, managing approvals, and creating repeatable workflows that reduce manual handoffs. Attendees will learn how Concert Workflows can complement existing tools rather than require teams to replace them, what integration patterns to consider, and how to select a focused first use case that delivers measurable operational value.

What I wish I knew when I started my IBM i Career is a practical roadmap for early-career and aspiring IBM i professionals looking to build momentum within the ecosystem. Drawing from real-world experience, this session explores how conferences, mentorship, community involvement, and side projects can accelerate growth and create meaningful career opportunities. Attendees will learn how to engage strategically at IBM i events, approach interviews with confidence, identify skill gaps, and build credibility within the community. The session also addresses common misconceptions about networking and professional development in the IBM i world. Participants will leave with clear, actionable steps they can immediately apply to strengthen their career trajectory and become active contributors to the IBM i ecosystem.

Sessions presented by industry experts as part of N2i's "Getting Started" series.
