Twenty-two sessions on shipping software that survives contact with real users — architecture, testing, migration, on-call.
Investors and operators walking through real cap tables, real term sheets and the rounds that did not close.
Where regulation, carbon accounting and product decisions collide — with the people who write the rules in the room.
No forty-minute keynote from a sponsor. No stage that takes ten minutes to walk to. Half the seats are held for students, researchers and non-profits, and every recording is online within 48 hours.
