Airstream 2
Choosing separate colors for text, borders, hover states, active states, and backgrounds is one of the most repetitive—and unnecessary—parts of frontend work. Every new component means another round of “What should the hover color be?” or “Can design give us a darker shade?” Modern CSS gives us a better way.
In this talk, we’ll explore how relative CSS colors let you generate an entire color system from a single base value. Using color-mix(), OKLCH, and custom properties, you can derive hover, active, border, and subtle background colors automatically.
I'll walk through a live‑coding demo where we build a fully interactive button using just one color token, then generate all its states directly in CSS. You’ll see how this approach improves consistency, simplifies theming, and dramatically speeds up collaboration between design and engineering.
You’ll leave with practical patterns you can drop into your design system today—and a new way of thinking about color on the web.

Tech Leaders Stage
Europe has the talent, the research and the industry, but turning that into global AI leadership is another matter. This panel brings industry and policy to the same table to ask what it would really take for Europe to lead rather than follow. An honest look at where Europe stands and what has to change.

Tech Leaders Stage
Automating one team is easy to imagine; automating an entire enterprise is a different reality. This panel brings together leaders who run these systems to talk about what genuinely works and what is still mostly promise. A grounded look at the real state of enterprise-wide automation.

The hardest part of the AI transition isn't ‘upgrading’ the software; it is ‘upgrading’ the developer mindset. In complex enterprise ecosystems, getting thousands of programmers comfortable with AI development requires moving past generic chat boxes and embedding intelligence directly into the developer journey
Come to this session to learn how one enterprise company completely rebuilt their learning infrastructure using generative AI to meet developers exactly where they write code. Discover how the developer’s advocacy team connected real-world feedback loops directly to their AI tooling ensuring the ecosystem scaled effectively.
You will walk away with a practical roadmap for upskilling your own developer base, blending automated education with human community orchestration.

Stage 11
AI coding assistants write impressive code. They also destroy carefully balanced codebases the moment you ask them to refactor.
Ask Copilot to extract a method. Watch it miss three call sites. Ask Claude to rename a class. Watch it break imports across 12 files. Ask Cline to simplify a conditional. Watch your tests fail in ways you didn't know were possible.
The problem isn't that AI is stupid. It's that refactoring requires something AI assistants don't have: state, sequences, and safety nets.
Martin Fowler wrote the refactoring playbook 25 years ago. It assumed humans would execute it. What happens when machines try?
This talk explores the collision between classical refactoring wisdom and modern AI capabilities. We'll dissect why AI assistants fail at refactoring, demonstrate patterns that actually work, and show how to build workflow layers that make AI-assisted refactoring safe and predictable.
