International speaker keynote

Future of Engineering Stage — 45 minutes

Agentic computing is redefining how complex tasks are solved—through autonomous, intelligent agents collaborating seamlessly at enterprise scale.  This talk explores how multi-agent systems, independent of underlying models, interfaces, or languages, negotiate and dynamically interact to deliver unprecedented levels of efficiency and innovation. Will explore how agentic collaboration will fundamentally reshape engineering workflows, with agents autonomously handling complex negotiations, orchestrating distributed tasks, continuously optimizing processes, and empowering human engineers to focus on creativity, innovation, and strategic decision-making.Attendees will also discover how open, transparent platforms facilitate diverse agent ecosystems, learn about large-scale collaboration protocols, and understand why open standards are essential to unlocking the transformative potential of agentic computing.

Open source AI with the JVM

Future of Engineering Stage — 45 minutes

Covering how it is possible to incorporate cutting-edge open source AI capabilities into Java applications, and build full Retrieval Augmented Generation solutions without leaving the JVM ecosystem. Looking at options for local model deployment, bindings to use popular open source frameworks with the JVM and the latest open source models.
Open-source AI models and frameworks have experienced tremendous growth recently, and while the most popular interfaces are for the Python language (or C++ for working with the internals), Java Virtual Machine (JVM) bindings exist for some of the most important projects.
This talk will delve into some of the tools and technologies available to integrate open-source AI models with JVM projects, including:
Ollama SDK - This communicates with the Ollama server, which is intended for running models locally.The Java Native Interface (JNI) bindings for Llama.cpp, which is a popular open source project for running many of the most popular large language models locally using the CPU, GPU or Apple’s Neural Engine.TensorFlow for JavaDeep Java Library (DJL) from AmazonThe JNI (Java Native Interface) bindings for PyTorchJVector - A Vector Search Library, which can be used with the other technologies above to enable the building of fully open-source Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions controlled from the JVM.

Config Files Considered Harmful

DevOps Stage — 45 minutes

Aleksander will introduce a new perspective on software configuration. Traditional configuration files can cause unexpected issues when default values change during software updates – user-defined settings may become incompatible without warning. To address this, Aleksander proposes replacing standard configuration files with patches.  These patches explicitly capture both the original default values and the user's customizations, enabling the update system to notify users whenever underlying defaults change. A robust patch management system also allows users to customize source code directly and re-apply their modifications following software updates. Aleksander will present GitKraft, a practical implementation of such a patch management system. GitKraft leverages git commits to store patches and utilizes GitHub as its user interface. Currently, GitKraft offers over 100 open-source Helm charts, all of which can be easily customized and managed through patches. Read More...

AI as the new hacker frontier

Security Stage — 45 minutes

This keynote gives insight into the intersection of AI and cyber security from a hacker's perspective and what we need to prepare for when it comes to emerging threats that use AI. While the business world debates the size of their AI investments and the extent of the latest AI trends, cyber attackers are already harnessing AI for malicious purposes to increase the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of their attacks.  All while cyber defenders are at a disadvantage and have to wait until products and services receive the same level of features and capabilities. The keynote further addresses the future AI cyber security threat picture and what decisions business leaders need to take to be better prepared for a future that includes AI as part of a comprehensive cyber security strategy.

ProductROI: we need to talk about money

Product World Stage — 45 minutes

The tech landscape has been a battleground of methodologies for years. The wake-up call from the end of the free-money era has prompted a critical reevaluation of our priorities, leaving many of us with a sobering reality check.  As profitability emerges as the new priority, it's time for product & engineering teams to redefine their role in the business ecosystem.

In this talk, Fabrice will divulge his experiences as a Product & Tech leader and the strategies that have reshaped his perspective. While Fabrice won't claim a one-size-fits-all solution nor another framework, these insights offer a blueprint for transforming technology from a cost to a profit. Read More...
