A conference is two days of people who never compared notes agreeing and disagreeing about the same few things — and nobody in any one room hears the whole of it. After each of our conferences, we write down what it said, taken as a whole: the themes, the evidence, the open questions, and what to do next. Every claim links to the talk it came from, so you can check for yourself.
Close to ninety speakers across two days and four tracks, on just about every aspect of building with AI. Six themes, from “the harness beats the model” to “the org is the bottleneck” — with the quotes, the video, and the questions worth taking to your team.

The token market got named, verification became the job — and one day was titled “Harness Engineering,” three weeks after Melbourne made that argument.
Read the report → The conference site →A single day, single track, on design research: AI inside the evidence, traceable findings, influence as technique, and inclusive research done properly. Four themes, an unfinished argument about research tempo, and the full reading list — every quote verified against the transcript.
Read the report → The conference site →Twenty talks over two days: friction rehabilitated, attention treated as a budget, invisible users designed for, AI held to human judgement, and design pushed upstream into strategy — plus the metrics argument the speakers never had face to face. Every quote verified against the transcript.
