Bristol · 14–15 May 2027
Two days about building things that outlast the team that built them
Sixteen talks, no sponsor keynotes, four hundred people and a bar that opens at five.
Day one
The programme
Day two is the same shape with different people. The full grid goes out a month before.
09:30
Doors and coffee
The good coffee, from the cart outside, until it runs out at eleven.
10:00
Opening: the ten-year codebase
What survives, what gets rewritten, and how to tell the difference early.
11:30
Three short talks
Twenty minutes each, on testing, on hiring, and on saying no to a roadmap.
14:00
Workshops
Four rooms, sign up on the day, capped at thirty each.
17:00
The bar
Which is, historically, where the useful conversations happen.
Speaking
Four of the sixteen
The rest are announced in February, once they have all said yes in writing.
