Practical Learning
Short talks, live workflows, and open demos focused on what actually helps teams ship.
Local Context
Aotearoa-friendly timing, NZ examples, and room for Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and regional voices.
Useful Momentum
Bring a problem, compare approaches, and leave with one workflow you can try the next day.
Find your part of the community
The NZ chapter mirrors the warm, practical feel of the AU community while keeping the voice, timing, and examples local.
Professional Developers
For engineers and technical leads adding agentic coding to production workflows, reviews, tests, and refactors.
