The moment everything changes

AI is changing everything about the way we approach software engineering and product development. The technology has reached an inflection point, and the focus must shift from augmenting developers with AI tools, to creating the environment in which AI can truly succeed.

We need to reshape our processes: away from ones designed around human strengths and weaknesses, towards new ones shaped around the strengths and weaknesses of AI. There are a great many important questions that we don’t have answers to – yet.

Join us for an evening of talks from practitioners and conversations with your peers to share experiences, learn together, and start forming a picture of what our future looks like.

Hear from the practitioners

Expect unexpected challenges, creative engineering, and the unmistakable thrill of an experiment that probably shouldn't work.
