Wrapping up 2026 with tech insights, laughs and highlights.

Don't miss the grand finale!

Talk details below.

AJ Bajada: AI-Powered SDLC: From Specs to Software
AI is transforming software development, and Specification-Driven Development (SDD) is at the centre of that shift. In this session, we'll explore the fundamentals of SDD, review the emerging tooling landscape, and take a deep dive into Microsoft's Hyper Velocity Engineering (HVE) and HVE Core (HVEC).

You'll learn how specifications can drive development workflows, accelerate delivery, and improve consistency in AI-assisted engineering. We'll wrap up with a live demo showcasing HVEC in action, turning requirements into working outcomes in real time. 🚀

Danidu Weerasinghe: The Agentic Artifact Supply Chain: Build It, Test It, Ship It Org-Wide
AI agents are being built everywhere, but scaling them across an organisation requires more than great prompts and frameworks. In this session, we'll explore what it takes to create a sustainable agentic artifact supply chain that enables teams to build, validate, govern, and distribute AI solutions at enterprise scale.

We'll cover the evolving landscape of agent frameworks, examine the need for a centralised distribution layer, and discuss how testing and governance practices help ensure quality, security, and trust. Whether you're building agents, skills, prompts, or reusable AI assets, you'll leave with practical patterns for moving from experimentation to organisation-wide adoption. 🚀

James Westall: Will be unveiled on the night.
