Event Description

Join us in Munich for an evening led by expert practitioners who have been applying AI across the SDLC from day one. This event is moderated by Phil Parker, Global Head of Technology Strategy & AI Delivery.

AI is transforming the way software is built—but moving from hype to hands-on practice is where the real challenge begins. Drawing on real-world experience with large organisations, our team at Equal Experts will share practical lessons learned—what worked, what didn’t, and the best practices that are emerging.

Leveraging GenAI for better Data Product delivery

Speaker: Thorben Louw, Data Architecture and Engineering

Coding agents made headlines for changing software dev in 2025. Now see how they’re transforming data engineering. Learn how to supercharge your data product delivery by using GenAI for faster delivery of ETL pipelines, data models, data governance and architectural design.

De-risking legacy migration: How LLM-assisted analysis changes what’s possible

Speakers: Alexandre Theodoro da Silva, Head of AI Engineering, and Julia Wilson, Principal Consultant

When documentation is missing and the original builders have moved on, migrating a mission-critical system can feel like a choice between moving fast and discovering problems late, or moving slowly while risk and cost grow. In this talk, we’ll share a practical approach to legacy analysis using LLMs that helped us understand a revenue-critical system in weeks, not months. You’ll see the workflow, what accelerated understanding, and the traps we nearly fell into—plus why talking to users matters even more with these tools.
