//PROGRAM
SESSIONS ANNOUNCED SOONA year of progress moves fast. Get the full picture from the people driving it: the workflows they use, the systems they ship, and the lessons that changed how they build. Leave with ideas you can put to work.
This year, we’re also going deep on internal agents: how companies like Ramp and Coinbase build AI systems for their own teams. Alongside coding agents, expect code review, evaluations, and the infrastructure behind production workflows.
