Something's shifted. You know it. We know it. The tools are different. The speed is different.

The question of what it even means to build software -- that's different too.

Professors and practitioners. Architects and founders. CTOs and community organizers. Some of us are deep in AI. Some of us are skeptical. We don't agree on everything. That's the point.

code.talks has always been the class reunion of the developer scene. The place where you leave your silo for two days, sit in a talk you'd never pick from your own backlog, and walk out thinking differently. Where the data engineer ends up in an architecture session and the backend developer discovers product thinking.

Where someone who's been coding for 20 years sits next to someone who just started -- and both leave with something new.

This year, we built the most diverse curator team code.talks has ever had -- and added a community curator group so the people who attend also have a voice in what gets on stage.

First-time speakers get personal coaching. Every topic area is anchored by speakers we trust to deliver. The program should look like the audience:
different backgrounds, different opinions, one shared curiosity.

We want to keep the reunion energy and raise the bar on what you take home.

Every perspective. Real questions. No filler.
