A Message From Gene Kim
A Message From Gene Kim
"This conference will assemble the most switched-on people using AI and vibe coding to advance enterprise goals. This is a community of people who are on the frontier of exploring ways of working that may seem radical and potentially risky, the payoff is so obviously high, staying still is simply not an option.

What Almost Every Tech Leader Is Asking
What Almost Every Tech Leader Is Asking
The leaders at this summit are grappling with questions no one has fully answered yet. Leaders will be sharing experience reports on how they've explored the following challenges:
- What should teams look like when two people do the work of eight?
- What does code review look like when agents write the majority of code?
- How do you trust and secure services built at AI speed?
- How do you measure developer productivity when the old metrics no longer apply?
- How do you upskill thousands of developers quickly?
- How does all this affect hiring and the role of junior developers?
- How is all this changing your staffing and budgeting?
- What are your new bottlenecks, and how are you eliminating them?
- How are you modernizing your legacy code bases?
- What are the points of friction outside the dev org and outside the IDE?
This Is Actually Happening
This Is Actually Happening
While most organizations are still debating whether AI changes anything, these organizations are using these capabilities to move the needle on outcomes that matter. Here's what they're already doing:
- Technology executives are vibe coding production applications in a week. Hear how they're maintaining those applications.
- Teams are fixing bugs that have been in legacy applications for decades with AI.
- Engineering managers and directors are pushing real fixes into production. They're are not longer just delegating, but actually doing.
- The new team shape: one developer, one business expert, one-day sprints.
- Leaders are shrinking the size of their organizations and increasing net margins — hear about their real-world experiences.

- “This is way more than an AI enthusiasm group. It’s a leadership forum for people dealing with the real consequences of AI at scale. The focus on flow, constraints, and ownership makes the discussions unusually practical.”
- “Whether you're a CTO who just vibe-coded your first app or a staff engineer managing a fleet of agents, this is your community.”
- “A gathering of some of the smartest people you'll ever meet sharing openly to help you in your situation.”
- “The many years that I have attended in person were the times I most grew professionally.”
- “My leadership reserves most conference travel to leadership from the main office... but I have paid my own way a few times now because this conference is so valuable.”
