CONFERENCE DAY ONE - Wednesday 21st October

9:00 AM Opening Keynote Panel: Platforms as Products: Perspectives from Engineering, Product and Leadership

Treating the platform like a product is reshaping the way teams collaborate, measure success and define value. This discussion will bring together leaders who have adopted this mindset and observed how it changes expectations across the organisation.

• Balancing user needs, business priorities and technical realities

• Applying product practices to internal services with measurable outcomes

• Evolving platforms based on surveys, usage patterns and long-term strategy

12:00 PM Panel Discussion: Cutting Through the AI Noise: Choosing the Right Tools Without Falling for the Hype

The AI landscape is moving at breakneck speed, with new tools appearing faster than enterprises can effectively evaluate them. Leaders are now facing the challenge of separating genuinely transformative capabilities from expensive distractions. This session explores the different perspectives on how to build a clear selection strategy that prioritises value, governance and long term impact.

• Establishing decision frameworks to assess AI tools objectively

• Avoiding hype-driven adoption by focusing on measurable outcomes

• Building responsible governance to ensure scalable, sustainable choices
