The InfoQ Dev Summit Boston 2025 conference (June 9-10) will bring together senior software practitioners to share proven strategies for integrating AI, scaling resilient architectures, and optimizing developer experience - three key areas that will define engineering success in the next 18 months.
Unlike conferences that only discuss the theory, this event by the team behind InfoQ and QCon focuses on real-world implementations, with insights from Netflix, The New York Times, Shopify, CarGurus, Vanguard, and more. Speakers will share strategies that attendees can apply immediately, helping teams avoid costly trial and error.
"The next 18 months are critical for engineering teams. Those who successfully integrate AI, scale architectures, and optimize DevEx will lead. Those who don’t risk falling behind. At InfoQ Dev Summit Boston, we focus on what matters most - practical, real-world solutions for senior developers. No fluff, no hidden product pitches - just engineering insights you can use immediately",
explained Eder Ignatowicz, InfoQ Dev Summit Boston 2025 chair, senior principal software engineer and architect @RedHat.
The conference’s sessions will provide practical insights from engineering leaders actively solving these challenges in production.
Keynote:
- Phil Calçado, founder & CEO @Outropy, previously at SoundCloud, DigitalOcean, and SeatGeek, will deliver the keynote: "Key Lessons from Shipping AI Products Beyond the Hype". Drawing from 20+ years in software development, Calçado will break down the practical realities of integrating AI into products, separating what works from what doesn’t.
Featured Talks:
- Vladimir Zakharov, enterprise software developer with 20+ years on Wall Street & an open source contributor, will explore: "Are You Missing a Data Frame? The Power of Data Frames in Java".
- Erin Doyle, Sr. staff software engineer @Lob, formerly a full stack engineer & instructor @Egghead, will discuss: "Empathy-Driven Platforms: You Build It, Let’s Run It Together".
- Brendan McLoughlin, frontend architect @CarGurus, formerly an Ember data maintainer, will take a problem-solving approach in: "Thinking Like a Detective: Solving Cloud Infrastructure Mysteries".
- Travis Gosselin, distinguished engineer of developer experience @SPS Commerce, will dive into: "Building an Internal Developer Portal that Empowers Developers".
- Hugo Marques, senior software engineer @Netflix, formerly at Twitter and AWS, will share lessons from real-world experience in: "Java Concurrency from the Trenches: Lessons Learned in the Wild".
- Francisco Javier Arceo, senior principal software engineer @Red Hat, Kubeflow Steering Committee Member, and Feast Maintainer, will break down: "Powering Enterprise AI Applications with Data and Open Source Software".
Additional speakers include:
- Nimisha Asthagiri, principal consultant @Thoughtworks, previously chief architect @edX
- Guilherme Carreiro, staff engineer @Shopify, previously at Red Hat
- Lesley Cordero, staff engineer @The New York Times
- Stephanie Wang, founding engineer @MotherDuck, previously at Google BigQuery and Morgan Stanley
- Christina Yakomin, senior cloud architect @Vanguard, AWS certified solutions architect
A Practical, Results-Driven Summit
InfoQ Dev Summit distinguishes itself from other conferences by focusing on real-world engineering execution, rather than high-level trends.
- Deep dives into architecture, tooling, and team strategies that are immediately applicable.
- Focus on what teams need to adopt now, helping them navigate AI, platform engineering, and DevEx challenges effectively.
- Proven takeaways that accelerate team progress and maintain a competitive advantage in a rapidly changing technical landscape.
Early bird pricing is available until March 11. Teams can take advantage of group discounts to align on strategic engineering initiatives.
In addition to our upcoming InfoQ Dev Summit Boston 2025 event, we’re excited to announce two more InfoQ Dev Summit conferences this year: InfoQ Dev Summit Munich (October 15-16, 2025) and InfoQ Dev Summit New York (dates in December 2025 to be announced). These events will continue our focus on real-world case studies and actionable solutions from senior engineering practitioners, helping development teams tackle today’s most pressing software challenges.
