Opening Keynote:

The Agentic Shift: The Rise of Autonomous Software Delivery

Every engineering team is already generating code with AI. The harder problem is knowing how much of it should ship without a person "in the loop".  Most organizations are still deciding that case by case, with no real system behind it. In this keynote, we'll explore what that system could look like: an agentic framework that scales autonomy to the risk of each AI-generated change, not a blanket policy that treats them all the same. You'll see it in real demos, backed by customers already running it at production scale.

Speed Without the Blind Spots: Modernizing Delivery at Scale

Enterprise leaders are under pressure to move faster while protecting their supply chain from attack. This panel looks at how leaders are transforming — moving from slow delivery and supply chain exposure to fast, AI-driven delivery with a smaller attack surface.

Where AI, Delivery, and Security Meet

Most organizations tackle these as three separate problems, owned by three separate teams. Two leaders break down how their organization approaches them as one connected challenge instead — and what changes when a CIO and CISO are solving it side by side.

Panel Session:

Compliance as Code: Automated Governance That Doesn't Slow You Down

Teams are encoding regulatory requirements, security standards, and organizational policies into automated checks that run throughout the delivery pipeline. This panel explores why auditable evidence and control matter in fast-moving environments, how to translate legal requirements into executable policies, and what it takes to build compliance systems that scale with cloud-native architectures.

Panel Session:

The Work Nobody Sees: Where Transformation Actually Happens

Enterprise delivery doesn't slow down because of bad tools. It slows down in the manual handoffs buried across the 30+ workflows that make up software delivery — the work nobody sees, and nobody measures. This panel gets into how AI is exposing those unsustainable manual processes, and how these leaders are moving from manual to automated workflows to go from monthly releases to on-demand.
