Details
This will be an in-person-only event.
Main Talk:
The development landscape is shifting faster than ever. AI-assisted coding has moved from novelty to daily workflow. Cloud-native architectures continue to evolve. New frameworks emerge while others mature into enterprise standards.
Join us for an honest, practitioner-led conversation about what's actually changing in software development heading into 2026. Our panel of local technology leaders will share what they're seeing in the field—what's hype, what's real, and what skills and tools are worth your attention this year.

What to expect:
- Candid takes on AI tooling, cloud platforms, and emerging tech
