Let’s go: 15 (+1) ways to reinvent mainframe modernization

The mainframe isn’t dying, it’s evolving. But most teams don’t know where to start. This session cuts through the noise with 15+1 concrete, proven modernization strategies that attendees can apply immediately. From AI-assisted COBOL refactoring and cloud-native integration to DevOps pipelines and open-source tooling. Delivered by IBM Champion Armin Kramer with 35+ years of hands-on mainframe experience, this fast-paced, example-driven session gives every attendee at least one idea they can bring back to work on Monday.

No theory. No vague roadmaps. Just real options for teams ready to reinvent.
