Don’t Miss These SHARE Sessions: Tuesday, Aug 19

by | Aug 19, 2025 | Cheryl's List | 0 comments

Following on from our Cheryl’s List blog posts about sessions at SHARE on Monday, this post has some sessions to keep you entertained Tuesday – Friday.

I had planned to do a separate post each day, however, I felt it best that we get you my thoughts early, so you have plenty of time to get your plans organised. Please let me know if you find these posts helpful and if you have any suggestions about how we could make them more valuable to you.

There are many instances of scheduling clashes between sessions that I really want to attend. If you are attending with colleagues, I highly recommend that you sit down together in advance and agree who will attend which session, so you cover as many presentations as possible.

I am presenting/involved with 5 sessions myself:

  • Mainframe Ransomware Attack That Worked
  • What’s the Story Storage Glory!
  • Top Gun Best Practices, which is a panel session
  • Bit Bucket, co presenting with several others
  • zRoadshow, a lookback at the week at Share

Onto my list of sessions, I would love to attend or would highly recommend starting with:
