Main Stage Sessions

How AI is Reshaping the Craft of Building Software

"A grounded conversation on how AI coding tools are impacting developer workflows, and what building software with AI agents will look like for product and engineering teams."

Data vs. Hype: How Orgs Actually Win with AI

"An in-depth look at how software engineering teams are using AI coding tools today. What the data reveals about adoption versus transformation, and why outcomes vary so widely across companies."

Building World-Class Engineering Orgs in the Age of AI

"A fireside chat on what 'AI-native' orgs look like in practice: how teams are structured, how roles blur across PM/design/engineering, and what changes when the bottleneck shifts from writing code to intent, review, and verification."

Closing Thoughts

"Thomas Dohmke (former CEO of GitHub) founded, Entire.io, to build the world's next developer platform. In this exlusive first, Thomas talks about his company, team and plans - and Gergely closes the summit."

Breakouts: Lessons from Building

Lessons from Building Cursor

"The creators of ByteByteGo sit down with Sualeh to discuss the system design and engineering decisions behind building Cursor."

Lessons from Building Vercel

Frameworks for ICs: Engineering Practices that Make Coding Agents Work

"Simon explains how he works with coding agents, grounded in hands-on experience."

Building When It Feels Like There's Nothing Left to Build

"Chip walks through how to move from AI product decisions to building and running AI systems in production."

Breakouts: Leading

Leading Product Engineering Teams in an AI-native World

"Why product engineering matters more today, and which skills leaders should look for in an AI-native world."

Leading High-performing Engineering Teams in the Age of AI

"Nicole discusses what enables high-performing engineering teams, and how those conditions shift as AI enters everyday workflows."

Leading Engineering Through the Build-Out of Uber's Agentic Shift: From Tools to Culture

"How Uber is building an agentic culture across its engineering organization."
