But Beyond 2026 is more than a conference. It marks the beginning of something greater, a closer and more connected community centered on automation and orchestration across the entire spectrum of modern IT, spanning from mainframe and distributed systems to the cloud. It brings together customers, partners, and innovators who share one common ambition: to build hybrid IT landscapes that are efficient, secure, and intelligent.

The pressure on IT organizations has never been greater. Growing complexity, rising security demands, persistent skills shortages, and relentless efficiency targets require solutions that are both holistic and future-ready. Automation and orchestration are the answer – streamlining processes, managing workflows intelligently, and laying the groundwork for IT environments that are resilient, scalable, and built to last.

That's exactly what Beyond 2026 is about.

See how Beta Systems – alongside customers and partners – is driving innovation, exchanging best practices, and turning the vision of the autonomous data center into reality. Connect with a community that doesn't just talk about the future of automation and orchestration, but actively builds it.

The next step starts here. Take it with us.

Beyond 2026 – Let's go beyond.
