A message from John McKenny, Senior Vice President and General Manager.

I’m delighted to welcome you to the BMC Mainframe Customer Advisory Board (MCAB) in Rome, Italy, taking place 9–11 June 2026.

This exclusive, invite only gathering brings together mainframe leaders from across industries to explore our shared strategies, opportunities, and challenges. Throughout the event, we’ll discuss best practices, exchange perspectives, and dive into innovative topics shaping the future of mainframe transformation—including agentic AI, IT operations, developer experiences, cloud initiatives, and an exclusive preview of the BMC roadmap.

The MCAB is also an invaluable opportunity to connect with your peers and engage directly with my leadership team. Your insights and experiences play a vital role in guiding the evolution of our mainframe portfolio, and we look forward to hearing what’s most important to you.

Thank you for being part of this community. I truly look forward to seeing you in Rome and to the productive conversations and collaboration ahead.
