Theme: AI in Action: Build. Test. Ship. Show Real, Developer-Focused AI

We invite talks and workshops that demonstrate practical, hands-on applications of AI across the software development lifecycle. Sessions should focus on how developers, testers, and platform/DevOps engineers can leverage AI to build faster, test smarter, and ship with confidence.

We’re specifically looking for proposals that showcase:

  • AI inside IDEs - code generation, refactoring, debugging, documentation, and intelligent assistants.
  • AI for Developer Productivity - accelerating development workflows, automation, code review, pair programming with AI.
  • AI-Driven Testing - unit, integration, and end-to-end testing enhanced by AI; test case generation; flaky test detection.
  • AI for DevOps & Platform Engineering - smart CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, infra-as-code validation, incident prediction.
  • AI-Powered Observability - log analysis, anomaly detection, root-cause analysis, alert reduction.

We are interested in real-world use cases, demos, tools, frameworks, and lessons learned, not high-level theory.

Help the community learn how AI is transforming the way we Build. Test. Ship.
