Useful, but limited. The real shift begins when teams move from isolated prompt experiments to agentic workflows that actually support delivery. How do personal AI habits turn into something a team can rely on. What tools and working patterns are emerging. And what does an Agentic SDLC look like once it goes beyond one developer. This meetup explores the evolution of developer workflows in the age of AI. From personal IDE setups and smart context reuse to the early foundations of Agentic SDLC at the team level. The event is inspired by Tikal’s Tech Radar Voice podcast series “Agentic SDLC: From personal workflow to team workflow” and brings those conversations into a live, interactive setting. **On the Agenda:** **18:00–18:30** Welcome drinks and networking **18:30–19:15** From Manifesto to Main Branch: A Spec Driven Approach to the Agentic SDLC// Lior Kanfi, CEO & Founder, Tikal AI coding agents promise velocity, but often deliver chaos. The root cause is usually the lack of a shared source of truth. Instead, teams end up with inconsistent vibe coding, where ad hoc prompts lead to unpredictable results. In this talk, Lior shows how to ground the Twelve Factor Agentic SDLC in the principles of Spec Driven Development. He will introduce the agentic sdlc spec kit, an open source toolkit that makes this approach practical. You will see how a single /specify command can translate a business requirement from an issue tracker into a formal, version controlled specification. This spec.md becomes the contract that governs the entire AI workflow, from automated planning and implementation to generating risk based tests. The session focuses on how teams can move from unpredictable prompting to a governed, spec driven system that turns AI from a clever gadget into a reliable and accountable team member. **19:15–20:00** Panel discussion: Working with AI: from personal routines to teamwide Agentic SDLC Moderator// Nir Kaufman, Tech Lead, Tikal Panelists * Mati Konen, VP of Engineering, Fairgen * Muly Gottlieb, Head of Engineering, Applitools * Roy Kass, Fullstack Tech Lead, Tikal ​In the panel, we’ll hear from the speakers about: * ​How they’re personally using AI tools in their own day-to-day work as developers, leads, and product people * ​What their teams are trying when it comes to integrating agents into real workflows and where things still get stuck * How dev environments are evolving: IDE setups, context management, and async flows * ​What Agentic SDLC actually looks like when it starts to take shape across a team * ​Lessons, surprises, and small changes that made a big difference in how they work **From the podcast series** State of Agentic SDLC [https://tkl.to/tikal-spotify-state-of-agentic-sdlc](https://tkl.to/tikal-spotify-state-of-agentic-sdlc) Personal Workflow and Spec Driven Development [https://tkl.to/tikal-spotifiy-personal-workflow](https://tkl.to/tikal-spotifiy-personal-workflow) Context Engineering [https://tkl.to/tikal-spotify-context-engineering](https://tkl.to/tikal-spotify-context-engineering) Agentic SDLC for a team [https://tkl.to/tikal-spotify-agentic-sdlc-for-a-team](https://tkl.to/tikal-spotify-agentic-sdlc-for-a-team)

The Israeli tech ecosystem has entered a defining new chapter. After a period of intense recalibration, 2026 has arrived with a powerful resurgence of momentum. Capital is returning to Tel Aviv with vigor, but it is moving with a new level of selectivity. We have transitioned from an era of speculative growth into a period defined by high-conviction investing, where the focus has shifted toward technical defensibility, operational resilience, and mission-critical innovation. For early-stage and growth-stage founders, navigating this landscape requires more than a strong pitch; it requires a deep alignment with the refined mandates of the modern investment committee. The Value of the Briefing This session offers a rare, high-density exchange with a curated panel of professional investors representing the primary pillars of the current market. For an entrepreneur, the value lies in gaining an unfiltered perspective on the "Resilience Premium." You will gain insight into how professional allocators are evaluating risk, the new standards for capital efficiency, and the specific characteristics of the startups successfully securing high-quality rounds in 2026.

The Playbook Panel Lisa Cohen, Investment Director at Intel Capital: A seasoned leader in DeepTech and AI, Lisa manages a portfolio of high-complexity industry leaders including Buildots, proteanTecs, and Voyantis, bringing the essential strategic and corporate venture perspective. Yael Schiff, Vice President at Bessemer Venture Partners: Focusing on early-stage B2B SaaS, AI, and Cloud Infrastructure, Yael brings the rigorous "global playbook" perspective and operational insights from her background at Via and McKinsey. David Feldman, Principal at Flint Capital: A key bridge between the US and Israeli software markets, David has a track record of identifying future giants like Socure and WalkMe and understands how to position Israeli tech for global LPs. Stav Erez, General Partner at TeClub: One of the most connected figures in the Israeli ecosystem and a specialist in deep-tech venture creation, Stav knows exactly how to take a raw idea and turn it into an "innovation-dense" company that attracts follow-on funding. Who Will Be Attending? The room is designed to be an intersection of the ecosystem’s most ambitious leaders: Early-Stage Founders seeking to calibrate their strategy for Seed and Series A milestones. Growth-Stage Executives navigating the complexities of scaling in a disciplined capital environment. Strategic Innovators looking for early visibility into the sectors currently commanding global attention. Secure Your Seat This is a special, limited-capacity event curated to ensure high-quality networking and meaningful dialogue. In a market moving this quickly, the insights shared will be time-sensitive and highly practical. Due to the exclusive nature of the venue and the high demand for these sessions, places are strictly limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. We anticipate an overbooked house, do not wait to secure your registration.

עם ליינאפ כזה, לפעמים הדבר הנכון ביותר הוא פשוט לתת למוזיקה לדבר לפני הכל. בפורים הקרוב אנחנו מארחים בלילה אחד כמה מהשמות הגדולים, הבולטים והאהובים ביותר בסצנה הישראלית והעולמית – כאלה שכשעולים על הבמה הלבבות רועדים, האנרגיה מתפוצצת וכל רגע מרגיש כמו חלום שלא רוצים שייגמר. זה נשמע כמו אשליה, אבל כן – זה אמיתי.

אנחנו הולכים לארח בלילה אחד את זהבי האחד והיחיד עם הבוזוקי והאנרגיה הבלתי נשכחת. את דרקו מכונת הלהיטים שממשיך לכבוש רחבות בארץ ובעולם. את דאלי עם הסאונד הייחודי שכשהוא עולה קורה משהו אחר ברחבה, ואיך אפשר בלי אשר סוויסה עם הגרוב האינסופי שמלווה אותנו כבר שנים. **:MUSIC A–Z** **Asher Swissa** **Danilo** **Darco** **Dali** **ME** **Fly Effect** **Zehavi** **Toled** 


אז מאיפה מתחילים? אנחנו חיים בבועה.
בועה של מציאות אחרת – כזאת שיודעת לקחת מורכבות, עומס ויום־יום, ולהפוך אותם לשמחה מתפרצת, לחופש, לרגעים של אסקפיזם טהור.
יש משהו בנו, משהו בעם שלנו, שיודע לנווט בין הכל – ולבחור לרקוד. אנחנו מבינים אתכם.
את התחושות בבטן, את הגירודים בגוף, את הפומו, את הצורך לצאת למסע מוזיקלי אמיתי.
לא עוד ערב. לא עוד מסיבה.
אלא חוויה. מסע. בועה משלנו. קפסולת זמן מושלמת, שבה אפשר להיות מי שאנחנו, לרקוד עם הפנים קדימה ולהיסחף עם האומנים הכי טובים לכמה שעות שבהן פשוט מרגישים שוב – חיים. רגע לפני שאנחנו פותחים עונה חדשה, החלטנו לעשות משהו מיוחד. אירוע חד־פעמי של **BUBBLES** בחג הכי צבעוני, חופשי ושמח בשנה – פורים. זה הזמן להשתחרר.
להתחפש.
להגזים.
להיות מי שאתם רוצים להיות.
כמה שיותר צבעוני יותר טוב וכמה שיותר משוחרר יותר נכון. באירוע הקרוב שוכחים הכל.
אנחנו יוצאים למסע מוזיקלי ארוך מהשקיעה ועד הזריחה.
מול הגלים על רחבת השלוותה, במקום שבו הכל מתחבר. 
**MIKOM** מול הגלים.
איפה שהשמיים כחולים יותר, הים אין־סופי, והרחבה פתוחה לכולם. המקום שראה הכל , דיג’יים בינלאומיים, אומנים מקומיים, רגעים גדולים ולילות בלתי נשכחים. אין לוקיישן מדויק יותר לבועה שלנו ואין מקום טוב יותר לחוות בו את פורים..

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA
