Why Developers Should Think Like Creators Now
The modern developer advantage is no longer purely technical. Engineers who can explain ideas, build audiences, share projects, and create trust online gain access to opportunities, collaborations, funding, and distribution far beyond what coding skills alone can provide.

The agentic shift: From writing code to leading systems
For decades, being a developer meant being a master of instructions - writing the exact lines of code for a computer to execute. But we are now witnessing a fundamental change in our craft, where the unit of work is shifting from writing individual functions to leading intelligent systems. This keynote moves beyond the "how-to" of coding to explore the new architecture of software. We break down the transition from building "tools" that wait for commands to "teammates" that pursue goals. By mapping production-ready AI roles - Orchestrators, Specialists, and Verifiers - we will demonstrate how to build resilient, multi-agent systems that go beyond simple chat interfaces.

From chatbot to agent: Building AI that can run infrastructure
As AI evolves from conversational interfaces to action-oriented systems, developers are rethinking how software interacts with infrastructure. Mantas Lukauskas, AI Tech Lead at Hostinger, explores the shift toward agentic AI, drawing from Hostinger’s work on systems that can automate workflows, operate in developer environments, and execute real tasks reliably at scale.

AI without the internet: Building offline-first conversational agents for the real world
Most AI assumes a stable connection, a modern device, and a keyboard. A fully offline, fully private AI appliance challenges that assumption head-on. The talk walks through the architecture behind sovereign, edge-deployed conversational AI: how to deliver low-latency, multilingual voice and text interactions without cloud dependency, and what it takes to make on-device AI actually work at enterprise scale.

Voice the inverted interface
Every other interface made humans adapt to machines, voice flips that, demanding real-time adaptation to noisy rooms, mixed languages, and sub-second decisions. With seven probabilistic systems in its path versus a chat agent's one, voice is structurally harder, and that's exactly where infrastructure becomes the real deal.

Engineering an Autonomous Service Desk: Scaling Enterprise IT with Agentic AI
Get the technical blueprint for building and deploying agentic products. In this session, we'll go under the hood of Rovo Service, Atlassian's AI agent that runs autonomously inside Jira Service Management - planning, executing, and resolving service desk tickets end-to-end. You'll see the architectural patterns behind the agent loop, walk through our 3-step deployment playbook, and learn how grounding the agent in a well-structured knowledge base drives measurable gains in deflection and MTTR.

12:00 PM
Building AI agents end-to-end: A hands-on workshop by AWS
This workshop provides a structured, hands-on journey through the end-to-end process of building AI agents using Strands Agents, an open source AI Agents SDK. Participants begin by constructing a foundational agent and progressively learn about various advanced capabilities like configuring model providers, integrating with AWS services, adding MCP tools, and streaming response handling. The workshop also addresses critical production considerations such as implementing safety guardrails, enabling persistent memory for contextual conversations, and adding observability and evaluation frameworks. By the end of the session, participants will have built a fully functional, production-ready AI agent and gained practical experience with the core patterns and best practices for agent development.
