Build Your Agentic Engineering Factory.

DEV Bootcamp | Hamburg

Two days to build the system in which a coding agent can thrive.

Secure your seat

// view agenda

💡 Bring your own harness! Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or any other working agentic setup with a model. We build the factory around it. No working harness on Day 1 means you can't participate.

16&17 JUNE

Hamburg LOCATION

50 MAX Seats

1999€ All in.

01 — WHY_NOW

The agentic factory beats the agentic prompt.

Every developer has tried Cursor or Claude Code. But the same model produces wildly different output depending on the system around it: context, hooks, quality gates, feedback loops, governance. That system is the factory. Most teams don't have one.

In two days, you'll build yours. Live coding demos to show you. Five trainers from six months of real customer factories to guide you. Three customer voices to ground you. Twenty peers from teams like yours to think with you.

What you get:

Real agentic workflows

No toy demos, no slides-only sessions. You work with actual production setups — CLAUDE.md, MCP, sub-agents, context engineering — the internals, not just the surface.

Patterns from 6 months of real customer factories

What works, what fails, and when an agent is the wrong answer entirely. The typical mistakes your teams will make — and how to prevent them.

The Agentic Factory — live

Harness architecture: context layer, quality gates, observability, hooks. Agents across the entire SDLC — from story to PR review — demoed live.

A rollout playbook you own on Monday

You leave with a concrete 90-day plan — built during the session. Not just inspiration. An actual starter kit on your laptop.
