On this page, I’ll share my experience at the Common Europe Congress 2025, the largest IBM Power (IBM i, AIX, Linux) event in Europe, held in Gothenburg, Sweden, from June 2nd to 5th.

My adventure to Gothenburg started with a trip to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (IATA: CDG) for a direct flight to Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport (IATA: GOT).
I traveled on Air France aboard an Embraer E-190. I'm always curious about the airplane’s previous and next destinations. According to the schedule, this plane flew from Düsseldorf to Paris, then from Paris to Gothenburg (my flight), and was scheduled to return to Paris before continuing on to Seville. A busy day for this Embraer!
This was our flight route to Gothenburg. Here’s a view from the airplane window showing the islands of Gothenburg as we arrived.
Gothenburg Airport features beautiful wall art.

Events like the Common Europe Congress provide excellent opportunities for NextGen professionals working with IBM Power technologies. These gatherings offer young professionals the chance to explore the IBM i ecosystem, network with specialists, and gain a clearer understanding of the incredible opportunities available within it.
I had the chance to meet many NextGen members from Germany who, in our conversations, expressed a strong desire to be part of the IBM i community, contribute valuable insights, and bring fresh energy and new ideas to the IBM i world. I’m proud of each one of them.
