👉 **[Register here](https://platformengineering.org/events/platform-engineering-in-2025-what-changed-ai-and-the-future-of-platforms-2025-12-09?utm_source=meetup)**
2025 was a landmark year for the platform engineering industry. With the release of the State of Platform Engineering, the State of AI in Platform Engineering, and the 2025 DORA report, the data is in on what the world of platform engineering looks like as we close out the year and enter the next. This webinar will explore the key trends from 2025, and what we can expect in 2026.

We will break down:
\- What the data tells us about the future of platform engineering
\- How the intersection of AI and platform engineering defined 2025
\- Current best practices and frameworks for doing “great” platform engineering

After a 30-minute talk there’ll be a 15-minute Q&A, for which we encourage you to submit questions in advance.
A webinar recording and related materials will be shared with all attendees after the event.
