Theme 2026: Activating Intelligence
At BBC 2026, we’ll explore the powerful opportunities AI brings to business — and we’ll go beyond the buzz with hands-on, interactive tutorials and immersive sessions designed to deepen your skills. Alongside the AI focus, we’ll also continue covering the core disciplines that BBC is known for: strategy, business analysis, architecture, business rules, and digital transformation.
Nothing matches the value of live, face-to-face learning, and this year’s agenda is packed with more engaging, practical, and high-impact experiences than ever — all with a clear focus on delivering business value.
Why BBC?
Building Business Capability is the only conference that empowers you to advance across the four critical dimensions of success: People, Product, Data, and Knowledge. You’ll sharpen your leadership skills, design more customer-centric organizations, and accelerate digital transformation.
Join us at BBC 2026 and activate your intelligence — to unlock new opportunities, strengthen your impact, and super-charge your career.
