Unlocking mainframe value with agentic AI

IBM Technology Summit - Mainframe Modernization - Video thumbnail
Agentic AI in action on the mainframe

Modernization in the AI era tends to be misunderstood. Too often, it’s framed as moving applications and data away from the mainframe on the assumption that AI works better elsewhere. For mission‑critical workloads, that approach adds latency, risk and cost—while separating AI from the transactional data that matters most.

Join us live on April 30, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET for the latest IBM Technology Summit episode. Skyla Loomis, General Manager, IBM Z Software, sits down with Richard Baird, Senior Vice President and CTO of Core Enterprise and zCloud at Kyndryl and Nick Oropall, Program Director, Product Marketing, Z Software, to reframe what modernization really looks like. The conversation will show how agentic AI is embedded directly into IBM Z to unlock real‑time insight, simplify operations, and increase productivity across developers, operators, database administrators, and security teams—without compromising resiliency or governance.

Register now to see how organizations are modernizing on the mainframe, not away from it.
