As the industry races toward AI, the questions that matter most haven't changed: How do we organise? How do teams work together? What makes the human side of product development work — or fall apart? #### **Programme** **Bas Vodde** — *Spill-over and/or the team* (An unstructured preview of what might become the next LeSS Conference talk) **Yeong Sheng** — *Driving Safely with Your AI Agentic Coding Partner: Hopefully Getting to Your Destination Cheaper.* **More talks TBA** — we may have additional speakers joining the lineup. **Open Space** — time for participant-driven conversations on whatever topics matter most to the group. Each pass includes all talks, open space sessions, snacks and drinks. #### **Who is this for?** You'll get the most out of this if you care about how your organisation works — how teams are structured, how products get built, how people collaborate. Whether you're a manager, team lead, coach, org leader, or just starting to ask these questions at your company.

Craving a midweek reset? Slide into Board Games & Chill - our weekly Tuesday night hangout, the vibes are relaxed, and the conversation’s always fun. ​We’ve added **11** new board games — come by, play a few rounds, and help with new ideas! ​ Come solo or bring a friend.

This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
