These events are built to help you explore modern AI-driven development workflows and connect with peers.

Bob is built to support you from ideation, designing & planning, creating from scratch, modernizing the software you have, to secure, enterprise-ready development. IBM Bob supports the entire SDLC — and these sessions show and guide you how it actually works in best practice.

If you’re curious about where AI is taking software engineering next, this is a great place to plug in.
