Conference Agenda

  • Opening Keynote: Autonomous Agents & The Next Horizon of Software Architecture

    Day 1 | 09:30 – 10:30 UTC | Keynote • Generative AI & LLMOps | 📍 Main Stage Virtual Alpha

    We explore the fundamental shifts occurring as deterministic microservices yield to adaptive, agentic systems. Discover how autonomous multi-agent networks are constructed, governed, and safely deployed into mission-critical production environments.

  • Architecting Zero-Downtime Multi-Cluster Kubernetes with eBPF Service Meshes

    Day 1 | 11:00 – 12:00 UTC | Deep Dive • Cloud Infrastructure & Kubernetes | 📍 Track A: Cloud Native

    Traditional iptables routing breaks down under massive cross-region scale. In this practical technical session, Marcus shares hard-won architecture patterns for eBPF mesh routing, instantaneous failover, and line-rate network observability.

  • Building Platforms Developers Actually Love: Metrics That Drive Adoption

    Day 1 | 13:30 – 14:30 UTC | Breakout Session • DevOps & Platform Engineering | 📍 Track B: Platform & DevOps

    Many internal developer platforms fail not due to bad tooling, but poor product thinking. Learn the product management mindset, quantitative developer velocity signals, and self-service patterns that make platform engineering a resounding success.

  • Hardening the Machine Learning Supply Chain Against Model Poisoning

    Day 2 | 10:00 – 11:00 UTC | Deep Dive • Security & Zero Trust | 📍 Track C: Security

    Pretrained checkpoints and third-party weights introduce severe novel security vectors. Kenji reviews real-world deserialization attacks, malicious tensor payloads, and how to implement zero-trust attestation for AI pipelines.

  • Sub-100ms Inference: Optimizing LLM Serving with vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, & Speculative Decoding

    Day 2 | 11:30 – 13:00 UTC | Workshop • Generative AI & LLMOps | 📍 Workshop Hall Virtual

    Deep dive into state-of-the-art serving runtimes. Compare continuous batching strategies, KV-cache quantization, speculative sampling, and hardware-specific kernel optimizations to minimize latency and slash cloud spend.

  • Panel: The Future of Cloud Engineering in an AI-Generated Code Era

    Day 3 | 15:00 – 16:30 UTC | Panel • DevOps & Platform Engineering | 📍 Main Stage Virtual Alpha

    Top industry leaders debate how infrastructure engineering, debugging, and incident management change when 70% of production code is co-authored by synthetic intelligence.
