Rethinking Software Validation in the Age of AI-Accelerated Development
- Carlos ArguellesSenior Principal Engineer, Engineering Productivity
An AI software factory is what you get when agents stop being autocomplete and start being a production line: intent in, verified code out, at a volume nobody reviews by hand.
Everyone here is building one, and nobody has all the pieces. Come compare notes with people working across tens of millions of lines: what shipped, what got rolled back, and who blew their budget.
Case reports, not predictions. From the people whose name is on the change.
See the speakersAttendees asked to sit in a room with each other and talk for a while. So we built it. Come with the question you can’t ask publicly.
Your repo, your failing evals, and the engineers from the talks working next to you.

Register nowCheck out the 2027 lineup so far, featuring some of the leading minds pushing breakthrough work in AI software engineering, with more on the way.
See what you can expect this year with on-demand recordings from the talks and sessions from last year.
Bring a repo that fights you, an eval that keeps failing, or a question nobody at work can answer. The Hack Track runs alongside every block and it’s included with every pass.
“You can get as deep in the weeds as you wish with likeminded engineers to find answers and solutions.”
We are back again at the Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida.
Sessions are upstairs with an ocean view out the window and plenty of chill after hours.
Discounted rooms are available for attendees at the Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort. Availability is limited, so book early.

How these dates usually go
Engineers and engineering leaders moving code at scale. If you own a migration, a platform, or an agent program that has to run on a codebase you didn’t write, you’re in the right room.
Super Early Bird Pricing: $900 (through September 30, 2026)
Early Bird Pricing: $1,100 (October 1 – November 30, 2026)

One pass, no tiers. Your registration covers every session on the agenda, dinner and the reception on opening night, and breakfast, lunch, and snacks on Tuesday and Wednesday. Not included: transportation and lodging.
A laptop and the problem you’re stuck on. The sessions ask nothing but attention; the Hack Track works best when you bring real code.
Confirmed sessions are listed in the speakers section as they land. The call for speakers closes on September 30, 2026, and the full agenda follows.
The call for speakers is open through September 30, 2026, and the stage goes to people who shipped the work. Speakers get a free pass, hotel covered, and a travel budget. Submit a talk on Sessionize ↗
At the venue if you can. A discounted room block opens with registration. Book through the official link only. We never use third-party housing services, so treat any housing bureau call or email as a scam.
An AI software factory is what you get when agents stop being autocomplete and start being a production line: intent in, verified code out, at a volume no one can review by hand.
Drop in any time — no sign-up, no fixed agenda. The room is open alongside every session block, all three days, and the people moving through it are practitioners from the talks, OpenRewrite contributors, and the Moderne team. Come with something concrete: the stuck migration, the recipe you can’t get right, the question nobody at work can answer. More on the Hack Track.
Yes — recordings from 2026 and 2025 are free in the sessions section, no gate and no form. The plan for 2027 is the same: film the talks, publish them for everyone.
Fly into Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood (FLL), about 15 minutes by car; Miami International (MIA) works too, usually 45 minutes up the coast. Already in Florida? Brightline stops at Fort Lauderdale and Aventura, each a short ride from the resort. Maps and links in the travel section.
Bring your laptop, and your sunscreen. Early Bird pricing is live.
