While we build the 2023 agenda, explore last year's tracks built upon our latest research that addressed the challenges most critical to applications & software engineering leaders. These topics kickstarted conversations around the priorities and intiatives of applications & software engineering so attendees could tackle what was most important to them.
Leaders responsible for delivering their organizations’ digital ambitions must leverage the ‘great opportunity’ by attracting and retaining the best engineering talent, building high performing teams and fostering the environment for them to flourish.
Application and enterprise architecture leaders must deliver a flexible application landscape in order to rapidly respond to opportunities and disruptions.
Application and Software Engineering Leaders need to deliver solutions to the business that allow for flexible composition of applications in order to streamline business outcomes.
Innovations across hardware, software, AI and data continue to proliferate, unlocking new economies of scale and business opportunity. IT and business leaders must view this landscape of change through a socio-technical lens to enable growth while withstanding waves of disruption.
To compete in the digital economy, organizations must build solutions which deliver business value and differentiate your organization. Whether building in code, low code or customizing off the shelf leaders must build modern, adaptive engineering organizations.
Application and Software Engineering leaders must deliver solutions that are optimized for customers, employees, and users. This requires a justified investment in design thinking and practices.
Organizations can only realize the promise of digital business and their digital workplace when they take control of the underpinning architecture, data and technology.
To survive in today’s tumultuous business climate, organizations must expect, embrace, and adapt to increasing uncertainty and change.
Building an organization capable of capitalizing on its talent and technology to deliver value requires a close alignment between IT and the Business.

"I am not interested in transformation," said no CEO ever. Everybody's transforming. And so they should be. The problem is that transformations can feel like pushing water uphill, with leaders exhorting their people to change and despairing that they ever will. So, what's missing? Neuroscience. Abandon rational, reasonable arguments for change in favour of science-backed and simple tactics .
