Two days for CTOs and engineering leaders who want to understand what coding agents actually change — in their codebase, their teams, and their org. No hype. Real adoption stories, live tooling, honest conversations.
01 — WHY NOW
Real agentic workflows
No toy demos, no slides-only sessions. You work with actual tools and agent setups used in production.
War stories from CTOs
Engineering leaders who’ve already shipped agents at scale share what worked, what didn’t, and what they’d do differently.
Talks from AI tool makers
External perspectives from the teams building the tools your engineers use every day.
A plan for your org
You leave with a concrete roadmap — not just inspiration. Actionable next steps you can start executing Monday morning.
50 engineering leaders
Peer-level exchange with CTOs and VPs who are dealing with the same shift. Breakout sessions grouped by org size.
Full cost transparency
€2,799 per person. All sessions, meals, drinks, and a dinner included. Overnight stay can be added at checkout.
02 · the format
Not a conference. No passive listening, no surface-level panels. This is structured peer exchange between CTOs who are already deep in the agentic shift — plus external input from the teams building the tools.
Up to 50 engineering leaders. Breakout sessions grouped by org size so conversations stay relevant.

//DAY_01
UNDERSTANDING THE SHIFT
09:00
Arrival & Coffee
Informal arrival, first conversations, no content yet.
09:30
Opening Keynote: From AI Experiments to Engineering
Operating Model
Sets the ambition level: not an intro to AI coding tools, but how CTOs
make agentic engineering work inside real engineering organizations.
10:00
Introduction Round: CTO Reality Check
Participants share their current maturity, what they already tried, what worked, what failed and where they are blocked internally.
11:00
Maturity Ladder: From Individual Productivity to System Change
Structured model for moving from isolated productivity gains to repeatable workflows, team standards, governance and measurable business impact.
12:00
Lunch Break
Delicious meal, first debrief of the first round with the group.
13:00
War Stories: Brownfield Agentic Engineering
Real CTO stories from existing engineering organizations: legacy systems, skeptical teams, quality concerns, failed rollouts, security constraints and leadership pressure.
14:30
Fireside Chat: André Balleyguier, Anthropic
15:30
Breakout 1: Experience & Problem Space
Participants share concrete experiences and map their problem spaces. The goal is to identify the recurring hard problems across companies and surface candidates for Day 2.
19:00
Dinner & Networking
Continued peer exchange in a more informal setting.
//DAY_02
TOOLS, PRACTICE & OUTLOOK

Breakout 2: Structured Solution Workshop
Participants work on 2–3 selected hard cases from Day 1. Each group solves one concrete company challenge in context, so the discussion does not stay abstract or end in “it depends”.
12:45
Lunch Break
Delicious meal, first debrief of the first round with the group.
13:45
Fireside Chat: Maximilian Hudlberger, OpenAI
