When Everyone Becomes a Builder
AI is reshaping how products are built, how engineers work, and who gets to build in the first place. Join us for a morning of honest, experience-driven conversation with four practitioners who are living this shift firsthand - from CTO to Engineering Manager, from AI strategist to product leader. Whether you write code every day, lead teams, or consider yourself "non-technical," this panel is for you.

Topics
From months to days: how AI changes the product development cycle How teams are shipping faster, validating ideas earlier, and what that means for how you plan, prioritize, and resource a product team. What actually changes in the process - and what surprisingly doesn't.
The evolving role of the engineer Is the engineer becoming more of an architect and curator, and less of a line-by-line coder? How does seniority, craft, and technical judgment get redefined when AI writes a lot of the boilerplate? Where do the new high-leverage skills lie?
When the "non-technical" person can build AI tools are collapsing the barrier between idea and implementation. What happens to product managers, designers, domain experts, and business analysts when they can prototype and ship without a developer? Is this empowering or destabilizing?
Organizational trust and guardrails As more people can build, how do you maintain quality, security, and architectural coherence? What does responsible AI-assisted development look like in practice, and how do CTOs and engineering leads set the right culture around it?
