The MexTUG event held on March 19, 2026, once again proved to be a flagship gathering for the HPE Nonstop community. Hosted at the elegant JW Marriott Polanco, the venue provided the perfect setting in the heart of Mexico City for a full day of collaboration, insight, and meaningful connection.

This year’s event was further elevated by the presence of Mathai Philip, HPE’s General Manager Nonstop Software & Systems, who traveled from London to join the community. His participation underscored the strategic importance of the region and offered valuable perspectives on the direction and continued evolution of HPE Nonstop.

The audience was both diverse and highly engaged, bringing together professionals from financial institutions, retailers, payment processors, and other mission-critical industries, alongside Nonstop partners from across the globe. This strong participation reflects not only the relevance of the platform, but also the strength of the ecosystem supporting it.

Throughout the day, sessions covered a wide range of critical and forward-looking topics, including the Nonstop roadmap, immutable backups, cybersecurity, post-quantum cryptography (PQC), observability, and risk management. The agenda successfully balanced innovation with practical application, delivering insights that resonated with both technical and business audiences.

Beyond the presentations, what truly distinguishes MexTUG is its role as a living, evolving community. More than a technical forum, it is a space where customers, partners, and experts come together to exchange experiences, discuss challenges, and share best practices in an open and collaborative environment. A highlight of this year’s event was the participation of a client CISO in a panel discussion hosted by XYPRO Technology, where he shared firsthand insights into his organization’s Nonstop cybersecurity strategy. One of MexTUG’s greatest strengths is the natural convergence of seasoned professionals with decades of Nonstop expertise and a new generation of talent bringing fresh perspectives. This dynamic fosters continuous knowledge transfer and ensures the platform remains relevant, resilient, and future-ready.

Over the years, MexTUG has steadily evolved into a cornerstone of the Nonstop ecosystem in Mexico. Since its inception in 2011, it has grown year after year, driven by the commitment, passion, and trust of the entire community. It stands as a testament to the collaborative spirit that has always defined the Nonstop world.

A special note of appreciation goes to the Connect Community team, whose dedication, professionalism, and attention to detail made this event seamless and impactful. Their continued support, along with that of all participating sponsors and partners, is essential in keeping this community connected, engaged, and moving forward.

The day concluded on a high note with cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, music, and a lively customer raffle, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere to continue conversations and strengthen relationships.

MexTUG 2026 not only met expectations – it reaffirmed the strength, unity, and enduring relevance of the HPE Nonstop community in Mexico, and its commitment to supporting the most critical systems in the world.
