EMA Seminars: Expert Knowledge from international Experts – independent and Vendor-neutral

EMA regularly offers seminars with a workshop character on selected topics, to which we invite top-class international speakers. It is always important to us to be product-independent and vendor-neutral.

My expectations before the start of the Mainframe Architecture Workshop for Executives: simple curiosity about who attends such a workshop and an interest in refreshing my mainframe knowledge. Outcome / Impression / Reflection: I found it absolutely top-notch, both technically and personally, and I can only recommend that anyone in a leadership position within the mainframe environment attend the seminar. It’s worth it for the technical insights as well as for the open atmosphere for discussion fostered by the EMA team.”

The Modern Mainframe: Unlocking Potential Rather Than Just Modernizing

Everyone is talking about “Mainframe modernization.” Here at the European Mainframe Academy, we take it a step further: We are convinced that the Mainframe does not need to be modernized. The Mainframe is modern. Projects often fail because modernization is limited to the application level. Yet the key to true efficiency also lies in modernizing the system itself.


Together with experts from SQ Solutions, Living Mainframe, CROZ, InfoDesign, IBM, and EMA, as well as representatives from client companies, we take a comprehensive look at Mainframe modernization —from architectural and system considerations to modern application development, DevOps, and AI scenarios.

In our three-day intensive seminar, we’ll show you how to tap into hidden potential and reduce operating costs in the long term.
