Communication

Every leader has one - that conversation you know you need to have but keep finding reasons to postpone. Maybe it's the direct report whose performance has slipped and you're hoping it'll fix itself. Maybe it's pushing back on your boss about a decision you disagree with. Maybe it's telling a someone they didn't get the promotion. In this session, we'll explore why these conversations are so hard, what makes us avoid them and how we can approach them with more confidence. Bring the conversation you've been putting off - or the one you finally had and learned from - and let's work through it together. Beyond the topic, there's always room to put your own challenges on the table, whatever you're navigating right now as a leader. The Leadership Gap exists to be the room where you can think out loud with people who get it, and we want to shape it around what matters most to you.

With the rise of AI, software and application development is changing fast. Today, it’s less about whether you code in Vue, React, or another framework—it’s about **how you leverage AI-driven development** and which languages and frameworks work best with LLMs. At this meetup, we’ll explore how AI is transforming software development. Even if you focus solely on frontend, you’ll discover new approaches and practices that can reshape the way you build applications. Join us to discuss **Agentic Engineering** and the new horizons AI opens for developers!

Join us for an evening of deep technical insights into the future of AI-assisted software development. This meetup brings together industry leaders to explore cutting-edge approaches to agentic engineering, from specification-driven development to preserving human flow states in AI-powered workflows. **Venue:** Suntec Tower 3, 8 Temasek Boulevard, #30-01/02, Singapore 038988 **Date:** 25 Feb **Schedule:** * 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Registration & Networking * 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Speaker Sessions & Q&A ## Featured Speakers **Sergey Saburov, Director of Software Engineering, Acronis** **Topic:** *Spec-Driven Development: Modern Strategies for Human-AI Collaboration* Dive into an in-depth comparison of specification-first methodologies in the era of AI-assisted engineering. This session evaluates different approaches to Spec-Driven Development (SDD), contrasting rigid, blueprint-heavy frameworks with lightweight, iterative change-tracking systems. Sergey examines practical workflows—from initial design to automated implementation—discussing how treating specifications as the "Source of Truth" helps teams eliminate technical debt, minimize AI hallucinations, and maintain architectural integrity in complex codebases. **Sanjeev Solanki, NLP Lead Engineer (AI),** **Constructor Technology** **Topic:** *AI Research Assistant: From Papers to Production with Agentic AI* This talk explores how AI can go beyond chatbots to become a structured research collaborator. We’ll look at an AI Research Assistant that reads papers, analyzes code, understands datasets, and generates executable plans using multi-agent orchestration. Learn how agentic workflows and context engineering help reduce hallucinations and bridge the gap between research ideas and production-ready solutions. **Ake, Developer Experience Director, Chainstack** **Topic:** *Building a Flow State Companion for Agentic Coding* We as humans have the capability of entering flow states—the deeply productive, creative, and rewarding sessions that almost always produce the best results. Flow requires consciousness. AI doesn't have one, and it can easily snap yours. Multi-instance agents, parallel workflows, and orchestrated swarms are TikTok for builders. In this talk, Ake shares his experience building a solution to protect flow, navigating the intricacies of cognition and metacognition along the way. ## What to Expect * Cutting-edge insights into AI-assisted development workflows * Practical strategies for human-AI collaboration * Networking opportunities with engineering leaders and practitioners * Q&A sessions with industry experts **Registration opens at 6:00 PM. We look forward to seeing you there!**
