We are excited to announce that GSE UK is now an independent user group, fully dedicated to supporting the UK enterprise IT community. This change allows us to focus entirely on our members, providing tailored insights, events, and resources to help navigate the evolving technology landscape.

Empowering the Enterprise IT Community

We are an independent community where IT professionals come together to collaborate, share knowledge, and drive innovation. Mainframe, Hybrid Cloud, AI, and modernisation are at the heart of enterprise IT, shaping the way organisations evolve. With the latest hardware, software, and investments driven by people, we provide a space where our industry meets, exchanges ideas, and takes new knowledge back into their organizations.

GUIDE our industry

Our members set the agenda—leading discussions on mainframe modernisation, cloud integration, security, and emerging technologies. Through collaboration, we shape the future of enterprise IT.

SHARE knowledge and insights

We provide a platform for IT professionals to connect, exchange expertise, and learn from peers through working groups, events, and networking opportunities. By sharing knowledge, our community grows stronger.

DEVELOP the next generation

With a growing need for enterprise IT talent, GSE UK is committed to mentoring and developing future professionals. By bridging the skills gap, we ensure the next generation is prepared for the challenges ahead.

“It’s all about rubbing shoulders with people who have the answers. Conversations start at a higher, more informed level.
The networking opportunities are incredible – something you wouldn’t get anywhere else.”
