Engineering in the Age of AI

AI isn’t coming for engineering... It’s already rewritten the rules.

Code is no longer the moat. The edge now?
How you think, design, and direct intelligent systems.

Developers aren't just building anymore, they're orchestrating. Guiding AI. Owning outcomes. Operating at system level.

This session brings together senior tech leaders and engineers to get real about what’s changing:

• What being a great engineer looks like now
• Whether dev, architecture, and product are collapsing into one role
• What real AI adoption looks like
• And who’s already falling behind

It's not a DEI conversation, but a leadership one. An event hosted, led, and attended by women.
