Main Stage, Day 1: Shipping in the Age of Agents

Day one sets the theme: what changes when software writes software, and what stays exactly the same. Seven talks on one stage, from the opening keynote at 9:00 to a closing fireside that nobody has scripted.

Halle Nord is a former rail-freight shed on the Kreuzberg side of the Spree: concrete columns, a 30-metre LED wall and seating for 1,800 engineers. Talks run 45 minutes with a hard stop, captions are live on the side screens, and every question goes through the event app so the best ones rise to the top.

Expect Ruth Achterberg’s write-heavy Postgres story, an honest panel on who really owns reliability, and a lightning round about the tools teams were brave enough to delete. Lunch is vegetarian by default, the hallway track is half the point, and the foyer stays open for drinks until six.

Your pass covers all three days. Early bird €390, Standard €590, or bring the team: five passes for €2,450.
