Cross-posted to the IBMVM, Linux-390, and IBM-MAIN discussion lists. Tentative Session List because speakers may cancel, and other speakers may volunteer; nothing different than any conference.
So you're the one who's been sitting on the fence while trying to decide whether to come down on the side of attending the 2013 VM Workshop in Indianapolis this year (Thurs June 20-Sat June 22). Perhaps you wanted to be sure that the sessions are valuable to you? Now you have the details available to make your decision. Of course you already know that * the 2013 VM Workshop registration fee is only $100, and * BRAND NEW double occupancy dorm rooms can be reserved as a 3-night package for $150 (with additional nights at $50 each), * a lavish Thursday evening reception and dinner is included, * as is a $65 IUPUI debit card for meals in the Campus Center all in centrally located downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. Due to Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) deadlines, the registration deadline is set hard and fast as the end of day May 31, 2013. Don't delay (besides, the Hand-on Labs will reach their maximum capacity of 430 each rather quickly). All 36 session slots are now 100% full. There have been rumors of a few late sessions, so some of those below might be replaced by newer sessions of more general appeal, and/or... session times adjusted.

Once you have been manually granted an ID by an admin, you may register for, and pay for (via Paypal) your purchases. Note: There are only 15 IBM-provided lab laptops at each of the non-concurrent 'z/VM Install & Config', and 'Linux on System z Install & Config' labs. Once you have received a workshop ID, you may reserve a seat at one and/or the other labs (maximum attendee reservations for each lab = 30).
