Software delivery is changing faster than most organizations can keep up with. Teams are shipping more. Expectations are rising. New capabilities are entering the development workflow at speed.
But behind the momentum, many organizations are asking the same questions:- What does this actually change for our teams?
- How do we adopt this without losing control?
- And what do we need to have in place to make this work?
Because one thing is becoming clear: The gap between teams that adapt and those that don’t, is growing fast. This event gives you a clear, practical view on what’s happening, what it means for your engineering organization, and what you should be doing next.
Real insights, real trade-offs, and real next steps.

Program
1. Keynote — Where Software Delivery Is Heading
Speaker: Michael Kaufmann, Xebia
A sharp perspective on what’s changing:- How development workflows are evolving
- The shift in the role of engineering teams
- Why many organizations are not ready for what’s coming
Expect a wake-up call, grounded in reality.
2. How Do You Actually Approach This?
Speaker: Olena Borzenko, Xebia
From awareness to action
This session answers the key question: Where do we start and how do we move forward without creating chaos?- What are the first steps to take as an organization?
- What needs to be in place (platform, process, teams)?
- How do you structure this transformation?
- What are common mistakes and how do you avoid them?
Practical approach, not theoryy.
3. What Is Actually Changing? Lessons from GitHub
Speaker: Gerwald Oberleitner, GitHub
Real impact in practice
A behind-the-scenes look at how AI is already impacting engineering at scale:- How AI is changing the way teams work within GitHub
- What it means for productivity, volume, and workflows
- The effects on quality, control, and collaboration
- What this looks like on the GitHub platform itself
Real effects, not promises.
4. Panel & Interactive Discussion
An open conversation with experts and peers:- How do you move forward without losing control?
- How do you bring your organization along?
- What are realistic next steps?
Ask the questions you can’t answer internally.
Why this matters
This isn’t about whether to adopt new technology, it’s about how your organization evolves with it. Because what we’re seeing today is simple; some teams are accelerating fast, others are struggling to keep up and the difference isn’t tools, it’s how they adapt their way of working
Join the sessions and get clarity on where you stand and what to do next.
You don’t need to have all the answers yet, but you do need to start asking the right questions.
