Future of Developer Experence: NYC
Betaworks, 29 Little West 12th, New York, 10004, New York, NY, USREGISTER ON LUMA
Future of DevEx series was first launched in New York in 2025 as part of Tech Week, and after running the event across Toronto, SF and LA, we're finally bringing it back!
This isn’t just another meetup. It’s part of a growing movement where engineers, founders, and toolmakers come together to define what’s next for developer workflows.
Join Deskree, PostHog, Arthur and Grafana to see how AI is changing the way we build.***
## What we will cover
- How AI is reshaping developer workflows
- Real-world patterns for observability, monitoring, and feedback loops
- How teams are structuring workflows to move faster with fewer people
- Where current approaches break down, and what’s actually working in production
## What you’ll learn
- Practical approaches you can apply to your workflows
- How leading dev tools think about the next 12–24 months
- How to design workflows that scale with AI, not against it
Come to learn, get new insights, and connect with like-minded builders.
