The GS UK Region Conference is a much-anticipated annual event that continues to serve as a cornerstone for collaboration, learning, and advancing the future of enterprise computing. This year, the event will take place on Monday, November 3 to Thursday, November 6, 2025, at Whittlebury Hall, Northamptonshire.
In addition to face-to-face networking and deep technical discussions, this event will also highlight our growing relationship as the Open Mainframe Project will have a track for the second year in a row. New last year, Open Mainframe Project had several talks and panels that explored how open source is helping to bridge the skills gap, accelerate innovation, and provide new tools and frameworks that bring mainframe into the modern developer workflow. Projects such as Galasa, Mainframe Open Education, zopen community, Zorse, Zowe and more were met with strong interest from attendees. These initiatives not only demonstrate how open collaboration can unlock value but also how they serve as a rallying point for the next generation of mainframe talent. Videos of these sessions can be found on the GS UK playlist on the Open Mainframe Youtube channel.
This week, GS UK launched the call for speakers – accepting proposals from across the enterprise IT and mainframe community — whether you’re sharing technical expertise, strategic insights, a real-world case study, or educational content.
