From Hype to Reality: Inside the Successful Transitions to AI-Augmented Engineering

A data-backed masterclass on what’s actually working inside engineering organizations adopting AI – and how to drive real productivity, not vanity uplift.

Overview

AI promises a step-change in engineering productivity, but most companies are still stuck at the “experimentation” stage. What separates the teams seeing transformational results from those spinning in place?

In this session, we unpack new insights from CIOs and technology leaders. You’ll learn the frameworks, metrics, and cultural practices that are enabling the fastest-moving organizations to turn AI hype into engineering impact.

If you’re responsible for improving delivery, developer productivity, or AI strategy, this session gives you a practical roadmap for the next 12 months.
