The track explores how companies turning to Platform Engineering to help scale their engineering teams and increase engineer efficiency really work.
- “Architecture for the Age of AI” - led by Fabiane Nardon, data scientist, Java Champion & CTO @tail_oficial, focuses on sharing practitioner-driven insights on what works (and what doesn't) on AI-focused software architectures, enabling you to build and sustain the AI-based systems of the future. The track will explore the latest trends and techniques for building modern software architecture for AI systems and applications.
- “Engineering Leadership for All” - led by Tanja Lichtensteiger, director of product engineering @BBC, will delve deep into the heart of modern leadership practices tailored for the dynamic world of software engineering. Whether you've recently stepped into a leadership role, aspire to, or are merely curious about how to influence your projects and peers better, this track is your gateway to transformative engineering leadership.
- “Cloud-Native Engineering” - led by Bilgin Ibryam, principal product manager @Diagrid, co-author of “Kubernetes Patterns“, previously architect @RedHat, will explore modern engineering practices, share practitioner-driven insights on what technologies are effective on the cloud, and will give a glimpse of what's coming next.
- “Securing Modern Software” - led by Laura Bell Main, CEO @SafeStack, will explore where innovation meets cyber security and how we can bring security into our definitions of software quality - taking ownership of keeping our data, people, and systems safe from within the development team.
