🧜♂️ Frontend 18:00 David Meir-Levy - A Better Frontend DevEx
Gain a better experience that will help you enjoy coding and become faster and confident.
We will have an open discussion on the ways to achieve better software, while not harm the project velocity, using tools and techniques.
The last two years have been revolutionary to the React ecosystem and mental model. Meta frameworks and SSR becoming the default approach, concurrent features, and not to forget the compiler on the way- we got a lot of new “magic” tools to make our lives easier.
But, do we want magic? Let’s hear what people think!
💱 Personal Growth 18:00 Moran Weber - Public Speaking for Introverts
“I don’t have anything interesting to say” sounds familiar???
I believe we all have a story worth sharing.
But how do you get started? And how, on earth, do you overcome the stage fright?
Throughout the years, and after training hundreds of tech speakers, I’ve gathered a handful of power tips which helped me manage my own unbearable stage fright and turn others' stories into incredibly awesome tech talks. Join me and learn WHY and HOW you can move from the back row into the front.
After years of being a successful Tech Lead, stepping into a Management role comes with new dynamics and responsibilities. While the ability to influence without authority is a valuable skill, its application in a formal management context can present unforeseen challenges.
Does my experience in influencing without authority make me a better manager?
Where might this experience create confusion or challenges in a management role?
👩🏻💼 Management 18:00 Lital Alon - Leading Leaders
The transition from leading developers into leading development managers is a lot like moving from a monolithic architecture to multiservices.

18:45 Dor Kleiman - How Backend Architecture Affects UX
We'll discuss the dichotomy between SSR and SPAs, local-first dev approach with optimistic UI updates, and generally how important it is for UI to be snappy for a good user experience
🏯 Architecture 18:00 David Weiss - Reassessing OOP and Microservices in Software Architecture
We will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different software architecture methods, on the scalability of a team and a system, and explore the considerations involved in choosing an architecture.
18:45 Gilad Shoham - Architecting for Growth: Scaling Teams with Modern Practices
Join our round table to explore strategies for scaling development teams effectively. We'll delve into micro frontends, effective sharing and reuse, domain-driven design, and inversion of control. Learn how these methodologies can drive growth and enhance collaboration within your organization
🏯 Org Tech Styles 18:00 Amir Ben-Ari - Architecture and Tech Leadership
Architecture is doing. It is no more than a drawing, a very important one. Architect is being. A continuous process. Of delivering the drawing, and delivering ourselves to invest in our colleagues.
Through real examples we encountered at Assured Allies we’ll discuss DDD upsides and complexities, and in general - should we treat software development methodologies and architectural principles as a user manual or just drive inspiration from them?
🅰️ℹ️ AI 18:00 Ofir Ziv - Smart agents: Let AI do the work, I'm at the beach...😎
How can we create and integrate AI agents into our daily workflows?
What does the future hold for us?
If you're passionate about Data Science - Join us!
18:45 Liron Izhaki - AI Explainability, Evaluation, Safety & More
The main issue with these 3 concepts is that we can't really define them, and the reason for that is that we don't have a definition that fits all the cases. This means you'll really have to define these for yourself. For example, what does explainability mean? Do you explain a single decision or the whole model? Is the explanation aiming for a good enough reason, or a sufficient and necessary reason? What are the standards we apply to human intelligence and does it apply to AI?
🎲 Data 18:00 Morit Zwang - Screaming for AI - discussing AI implementation strategy
AI is the hottest trend and every company wants to implement AI in their product.
In this table we will discuss what use cases are AI friendly and what considerations you should take to ensure AI won't make you scream.
Join us as we explore agentic workflows and discuss the role of developers in guiding AI agents and shaping the future of AI. We’ll get familiar with the world of AI agents, and understand their potential to revolutionize the way we work and interact with technology, ultimately allowing humans (and developers 😉) to focus on the bigger picture
🤵♀️ Thinking Different 18:00 Berry Venture Lev - Diversity in Tech: Navigating Biases
Despite growing awareness and efforts towards gender equality and diversity, unconscious bias held by both men and women may still affect our decisions about who to work with and promote even if we have a genuine intention to be impartial. Join this discussion to learn more about unconscious bias and explore together strategies for recognizing it and uncovering it both in ourselves and in others.
Product thinking and different product methodologies are crucial skills for a creative, collaborative, business-oriented software developer or leader. In this table, I will share basic terminology, frameworks, and tips that are best practices and worked well for me as a technical leader in product-led companies, hoping you'll share yours.
🌝 Safety 18:00 Omer Morad - Tests & Quality as a Lifestyle
We will challenge the alarmist narratives of AI doomsayers.
We'll dissect their arguments, exposing potential flaws and sensationalism, while also considering the genuine risks that merit attention.
By confronting these dire predictions head-on and contrasting them with the realities of current AI research, we aim to stir a critical debate on whether these fears are rational concerns or unfounded hysteria.
