Beyond chatbots: product innovation in the Age of AI

Generative AI is transforming countless aspects of society, from education to healthcare to shopping to travel. Much of this impact has come from chatbot-like applications. While the progress in these applications, as measured by standardized benchmarks, is impressive, this is just the beginning. We are on the cusp of a new era with more advanced AI models, capable of native multimodality — understanding and generating different types of content like text, images, audio, and even code — and exhibiting more autonomous, agentic behavior. These developments are opening up dramatically new avenues for impact and creating exciting opportunities for developers.

However, more powerful models alone are not enough. As developers, we need to integrate them into user-friendly applications. As these models become more sophisticated, we need to carefully consider how they are designed, deployed, and monitored. This introduces new considerations for developers in areas like evaluation, testing, and debugging, especially for multimodal and agentic systems.

In this talk, I will review recent advances in GenAI models and applications, with a particular focus on the implications for developers.

How John started to like TDD (instead of hating it)

John, a typical developer, used to dread writing tests, finding them boring and unnecessary. Test Driven Development (TDD)? Even worse—he couldn’t see how it worked outside of basic exercises. But something clicked. Through his journey, John discovered the magic of writing tests before the production code: fewer bugs, quicker feedback, and cleaner code. Now, he’s hooked and won’t code any other way. This is the story of how TDD turned a skeptic into a believer. 😅

PS: Think of John as a random person, as if he was even the speaker of this talk 😉!

Tipping the Scales: Democratizing the Measurement of Software’s Environmental Impact

For thousands of years, those calling the shots have exploited our lack of literacy in measurement to tip the scales to their advantage. Now, in a digital age where the boundary of “software” is almost impossible to pin down, it’s easier than ever for that advantage to grow. It’s time to fight back, but not with placards and posters, with spreadsheets and standards.

In this talk, I’ll walk you through the surprising ways measurement has historically been used to seize and sometimes reclaim power. We’ll fast-forward to today’s sustainability battlefield, where the Software Carbon Intensity (SCI) specification from the Green Software Foundation represents a democratic, consensus-based standard to measure software’s environmental impact. I’ll show you how to calculate SCI for your own software, using the open-source Impact Framework. Along the way, we’ll also discuss the rise of a new kind of activist—the “watchers”—who use transparent metrics and tooling to keep the system honest.

By the end, you’ll understand why measurement matters, how to keep tabs on your software’s carbon footprint, and how to become part of this growing movement. It’s time to tip the scales back in our favor—one calculation at a time.

Connecting the Past and Future through Employee Resource Groups

The best indicator of our future is our collective understanding of our past. Connecting the Past and Future through Employee Resource Groups is meant to steepen an audience’s understanding of connection in the workplace as historic in nature and intergenerational at its best. There are many workplaces globally that have Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), but the function of these groups can be lost in business advantages. While it is always advantageous to connect ERG work to business outcomes, it’s important to always think about the main ROI of these groups – connection and belonging in the workplace.

Activist for transparency in public affairs

Hacking the fear of transparency

There is a major corruption scandal; it doesn’t matter when you read this. Are we, as a society, doomed to resignation? Is disaffection with institutions and anti-system populism the inevitable destiny to which we are condemned? Corruption, opacity, and inefficiency in public affairs are age-old diseases. But we now have an arsenal of new and powerful remedies: data science, transparency laws, and social media. This is the inspiring story of Jaime navigating an original path: technology, irreverent activism, and memes to deliver an electric shock to everything in the public sector.
