​Dubai finally gets a deeply technical night. Join Theneo for an Engineering Thursday panel where leaders from SAP, Revolut, and Visa unpack how APIs and AI are changing the way real systems get built. No buzzwords, real patterns. We will cover design decisions that hold up in production, how to make API contracts AI friendly, and what it takes to ship fast without breaking compliance or trust. Expect sharp takes, live audience questions, and hard-won lessons you can use on Monday.
