11:10am – 12:00pm: Future Developer Experience Using Gen AI
In the evolving landscape of software development, the future developer experience is poised for a radical transformation. Developers will transition into expert prompt engineers, skillfully collaborating with AI to enhance productivity. The emergence of on-demand workspaces will revolutionize development environments, offering cloud-based solutions that foster collaboration and facilitate remote work.
Alongside these technological advancements, the human element remains integral. Developers must hone soft skills like communication and problem-solving while embracing continuous learning to adapt to these changes. The integration of AI in automating mundane tasks, combined with innovations like quantum and edge computing, will redefine software engineering, opening up exciting new possibilities and challenges for developers in the future.
12:00pm – 12:40pm: Lunch & Exhibit Break
12:40pm – 1:30pm: Enterprise Architecture – Optimizing Application Performance for Enterprise Cloud Cost Efficiency
In an era where doing more with less is the new status quo, optimizing our IT spend without compromising security, stability and scalability is key to survival. Let’s talk about optimizations that may be hiding in legacy systems, how performance improvements can be measured as cost saving and how some of the exciting new architectures may not be the best fit for your business.
In this session, we’ll look at how companies are avoiding a potentially very costly land mine and using a faster, more efficient, and more scalable Java runtime to solve challenges – including:
- A new way to measure – ‘Carrying capacity (throughput under SLA)’
- Performance tuning in a CICD environment; and
- Improving microsecond performance with concurrent GC
Learn how leading IT teams are succeeding in dealing with a tough budgetary environment and the need for high-performance applications.
1:30pm – 2:20pm: Architecture Strategies for Accelerating Development in a Rapidly Changing World
In this session, we will cover:
- Microservice Orchestration with Kubernetes
- Event-Driven Architecture with Kafka
- Generative AI
2:20pm – 2:50pm: Refreshment & Exhibit Break
2:50pm – 3:40pm: Making (Gen)AI Practical
Nearly every organization wants to use AI — but the path to adoption isn’t always clear. To move from AI-curious to AI-infused, you need to first become AI-ready. That requires creating processes and pipelines that feed AI the proper data. To get it right, you have to understand your processes.
Join us to learn about the good and bad processes that feed AI systems.
In this session, we will:
- Discuss what it takes to be AI Ready
- Provide an introduction to context pipelines and action pipelines and making gen AI practical with use case examples
- Discuss Automating Manual Processes
3:40pm – 4:30pm: Creating a Value Proposition for a Business Outcome Driven EA Program (Panel Discussion)
Many enterprises are either starting, restarting, refocusing, or rebuilding their EA program. But how do you ensure that your EA program is business driven? How do you successfully develop and sell a value proposition to their organization?
Panelists include:
- Di Wang, Head of Enterprise Architecture, NORC at the University of Chicago
- Rooshana Purnyn, Director, Data Architecture, Hyatt Data, Analytics & Insights
- Brant Poggensee, AVP Solutions & Architecture, CNA
- Other EA leaders sharing their experiences, strategies, tactics, and lessons learned
