AI is reshaping how engineering teams work, but for CTOs and tech leaders the real question isn't how many AI tools you use, it's whether they deliver genuine value or just burn tokens because they're popular. Built on hands-on experience adopting AI in development teams, this workshop shares what worked, what didn't, and what we had to change. We'll explore how to divide work between people and agents, how the engineer's role is shifting, how agents fit into the entire SDLC, and how to move from personal tools toward shared context and governed platforms. We'll also look at how to measure the real impact on delivery flow, quality, cost, and time to value, so you can tell when AI adds value, when it just creates more work, and when it's better to change course. The work looks different, but the responsibility for the outcome stays the same.

Networking & Beer is a key part of our mentoring program, designed to help participants connect, share experiences, and learn from one another in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. It’s a chance to get to know each other beyond the mentor-mentee dynamic, exchange know-how, and discover valuable insights from diverse backgrounds. Whether you’re here to share your journey, gain fresh perspectives, or simply enjoy great conversations over a beer, this is the perfect setting to build meaningful relationships and inspire each other. Cheers to growth and collaboration!

AI is changing how products get built — reshaping team size, team dynamics, and the way work flows between people. This workshop steps back to look at that shift from a higher-level perspective, exploring how to think about it strategically rather than just reactively. From there, it turns to a challenge many organizations still face: the wall between development, product, and UX. Drawing on real-world experience, it looks at what it takes to bring these disciplines closer together and why the communication between them so often grinds. The goal is a more connected, adaptable way of building products, where teams, process, and technology move forward together.

The role of the technical leader is changing fast, and with the arrival of AI the expectations reach well beyond technical depth. Increasingly, leaders are expected to bring strong soft skills and to engage more directly with the client, yet most still come from a deeply technical background. This workshop offers a practical look at how to prepare for that evolving role and how to bridge technical work and business value in conversations with customers. It also reflects on a wider shift, as engineering moves closer to the customer and leaders take on the task of guiding their teams through that change. The technical foundation still matters, but the ability to connect it to people and business is becoming just as essential.
