Expert Talks Munich: Real-world AI in the SDLC
Join us in Munich for an evening led by expert practitioners who have been applying AI across the SDLC from day one.
AI is transforming the way software is built—but moving from hype to hands-on practice is where the real challenge begins. Drawing on real-world experience with large organisations, Equal Experts, the global leaders in software engineering, will share practical lessons learned— what worked, what didn’t, and the best practices that are emerging.
Programme
18:00 – 18:30 | Welcome drinks
18:30 – 19:30 | Lightning talks & interactive Q&A

Speakers and Topics
Practical AI Adoption: Teams, Delivery and Real Impact
Phil Parker, Global Head of Technology Strategy & AI Delivery, Equal Experts
This session explores how teams can use AI effectively in real delivery contexts – not as a silver bullet but as a practical amplifier of what already works. Phil will share how focusing on team dynamics, sustainable delivery practices, and shared human knowledge can unlock value faster and more reliably than chasing the latest tool or trend. Attendees will leave with concrete ways to shape their own AI adoption – understanding the principles, patterns, and trade-offs that make the difference between short-lived experiments and meaningful impact.
Three Tales of Digital Transformation in the SDLC
Nathan Carney, Head of Data and AI, DACH, Equal Experts
Nathan will speak about how AI is actually doing useful things in software development. In this talk, you’ll learn about how a major European retailer drags legacy code kicking and screaming into the 21st century, Travelopia’s six experiments that prove innovation means trying things twice, an dhow a UK Government department discovered that AI can accelerate discovery.
Beyond the Prototype: Security, Privacy and Quality in AI Engineering
Ben Wilkes, Technical Lead, Equal Experts
GenAI makes building software faster, but production readiness requires more than speed. Drawing from government software delivery, this talk presents the security, privacy, and quality disciplines that bridge the gap between AI-generated prototypes and production systems.
