Two days. 40+ speakers. 300+ technology leaders in one place. We don't talk about what should be done — we talk about how to do it.
Case studies from organizations like Danone, InPost, and BNP Paribas. Tools tested in real-world conditions. An intimate format — to focus on what actually matters.
You leave with concrete decisions, not slides.
AI is redefining how organizations design, deliver, and operate technology – while cyber threats and regulatory pressures grow at an unprecedented pace. The challenge is clear: create environments that enable innovation and speed without compromising stability, security, or compliance – and build the skills and talent that will define the future of enterprise technology.
At ACCELER8IT we tackle the most important challenges shaping modern technology
AI-Driven Technology
practical applications in software engineering, product management, service management, security and operations
Secure and Resilient Architecture
technology foundations that withstand disruptions and meet regulatory requirements
Modern Software and IT Operations
scaling automation, platforms and delivery models that keep pace with change
Future-Ready Skills
developing people, teams and skills needed to lead organizations in the AI era
For IT leaders and practitioners who shape the future of technology in their organizations.
You know what it's like to talk to the board about budget when every word needs to be translated into a different language. You know what it means to make decisions under pressure — with no certainty that anyone in the room truly understands what's at stake.
At ACCELER8IT you sit next to someone who knows this — not from hearsay. Leaders, experts and practitioners with similar responsibilities. A space where you're neither too technical nor too business-side.
Explore the topics shaping the 2026 agenda
How are AI agents changing the daily work of engineers, QA and DevOps teams? Practical case studies of agentic AI in delivery pipelines — what already works, what doesn't yet, and how to measure it.
How do you build new things while maintaining the old? Strategies for managing technical debt under constant pressure to innovate — without stopping delivery.
AI governance, compliance and ethics in large organizations. How to build trust in AI systems internally and with regulators — concrete frameworks and real implementation experience.
DX as a competitive advantage. How to measure and improve developer experience, build autonomous teams and an engineering culture that attracts and retains talent.
Platform engineering, internal developer platforms and cloud cost control. How to scale IT operations without scaling chaos — and where FinOps actually makes sense.
How are the roles of engineers, architects and IT leaders changing as AI enters everyday work? What stays with humans, what machines take over, and how to prepare your teams.
Closing the gap between business and technology through product thinking in IT. Product engineering mindset, ownership, metrics and the relationship with business — from theory to practice.

How Danone built an in-house Data & Analytics team, delivering projects without outsourcing. Including a full case study of a Machine Learning (MMM) implementation done entirely in-house.

A rapid migration of a complex logistics system to the cloud. Key takeaways: domain-driven thinking, the critical role of monitoring, and the moments when the 'big bang' approach turns out to be the safest choice.

How an autonomous R&D team was built within retail structures, based on Agile, a product mindset and an experimentation culture that extends beyond IT.

How a new Observability model became the 'pulse' of everyday product work — through self-service, a platform approach, cost control, automation and AI.

A practical guide to managing major IT incidents — from the first response, through communication and emotional control, to drawing lessons from outages.

Real performance failures and successes, plus modern practices: shift-left, continuous testing, chaos engineering, green software and what performance looks like today in the AI era.
