Key facts
About the conference
AI has stopped being merely a tool that speeds up individual tasks. It is becoming a full participant in the process of building IT solutions - taking part in analysis, design, and decision-making alongside people. This reshapes two roles that sit at the heart of every IT initiative: the analyst and the architect.
The conference asks how the work of the business and systems analyst and the enterprise, solution, and IT architect changes when AI joins the team: which activities shift to AI, which competencies gain importance, how responsibility and control are organized, and what "good analysis" and "good architecture" mean when solutions are built together with AI.
How the roles of the analyst and the architect change
The AI-First approach shifts the center of gravity of the analyst's and the architect's work. Below are the areas the conference focuses on.
- The analyst's craft
- How an analyst's work changes when AI tools take over some of the tasks - new techniques for working with requirements, new sources of errors and risks, and new quality control.
- Architecture of solutions built with AI
- Designing solutions in which AI agents are full participants in the build process - not just an add-on bolted on at the end.
- AI-First in software development
- The AI-First approach throughout software development: from requirements and design through to deployment.
- Human-AI collaboration
- How work is divided within the project team, and how quality control and responsibility are handled when working with AI.
- New roles and competencies
- How the roles and competencies of analysts and architects evolve in the AI-First era.
Who it is for
- Business and systems analysts
- People who gather requirements, model processes, and describe solutions - and who now do this side by side with AI.
- Architects (enterprise, solution, IT)
- People responsible for the shape, coherence, and evolution of IT solutions as AI becomes part of the design process.
- IT leaders
- Managers of analytical, architectural, and development teams looking for effective and safe ways to bring AI into how software is built.
