AI Software Factories in the Enterprise: Panel Discussion with BAND
About this event
A panel at the AWS Builder Loft on moving from single coding assistants to coordinated agent systems that build software from specs, covering governance, quality and measuring value, with dinner and networking.
BAND and HackerSquad host engineering leaders and practitioners on AI software factories: groups of coding agents that turn specs into working software. Topics include how agents split work, where testing, review and human sign-off belong, enterprise governance and access control and how to judge a pilot before wider rollout. Panelists were not yet announced. It also kicks off the BAND Dark Factory Buildathon (Nov 13 to 20), though you do not have to join the buildathon.
Doors open at 5:30 PM with reception and dinner, the panel runs about 6:15 to 7:15 PM and networking follows until 8:00 PM, on the 2nd floor of the AWS Builder Loft, 525 Market St. In-person guests need separate AWS Builder Loft registration, to be 18 or older and to bring a physical government photo ID. A free online ticket covers the panel stream.
