On October 20, we will review the highlights of the 18th GSE ISP Symposium 2026 and share key technical insights and future outlooks with you as part of our established online panel format, the Empalis Live Expert Talk (ELET).
Why GSE is so significant
Guide Share Europe (GSE) is an international non-profit organization that serves as a platform for companies and IT professionals. True to the motto "Guide, Share, Expand" of its predecessor organizations—SHARE and GUIDE—GSE focuses on helping shape the future of IT, sharing knowledge, and expanding networks.

- Best practices & use cases: Learn about real-world application scenarios and proven strategies from experienced professionals.
- Looking beyond the immediate scope: Exchanges with parallel communities—covering VSE, z/VM, and Linux on IBM Z—revealed valuable synergies for holistic infrastructure approaches.
