The Agentic Era and Beyond

The era of AI as a simple coding assistant is over. We have entered a new phase where Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).

The software industry is in the middle of a once-in-a-generation shift. AI is no longer a feature you add. It is becoming a new layer of the engineering stack, changing how we think, design, build, ship, and operate software.

AI Heroes is the international conference on AI for developers, by developers. A place where builders compare notes, share battle-tested patterns, and shape what “AI-native engineering” really means.

Our Audience

Expert Developers, Tech Leaders, Platform Leaders, Product Managers, CTOs, and Architects who are building the next generation of software systems.

Our Focus

Deep technical sessions and best practices, Strategy, Process Innovation, Enterprise Case Studies, and Cultural Transformation

Our Mission

To empower Tech/Platform Leaders, Expert Developers and CTOs with the strategic insights they need to simplify delivery, accelerate development velocity, and scale product innovation through intelligent AI adoption.

AI Heroes is built for people who actually ship. Expect deep technical sessions and best practices you can debate, test, and take back to your team. You will leave with concrete moves for what you are building next.

We provide real-world experience, enterprise case studies, and ‘lessons learned’ patterns, and playbooks you can apply the next day.

We also tackle the human side of the shift: how teams evolve when agents join the delivery chain, how to upskill senior engineers, how product discovery changes in an AI-native world, and how to move fast without sacrificing craftsmanship.

Edge Intelligence: Building with Apple Foundation Models on iOS

Tomas Parizek – Senior iOS Engineer – STRV

Defaulting to cloud APIs is no longer the only way to ship AI in iOS apps. This hands-on workshop dives into Apple Foundation Models, moving past theory to build privacy-first AI features directly into native apps.

We will focus on practical implementation: how to actually run these models, customize them for your specific domain, and empower them by providing external tools to enrich context and build truly smart, localized experiences. Requirements: MacBook, Apple Intelligence-compatible iPhone, and basic Swift/Xcode skills..

From dream to reality: how Claude Code supports video game development

Marco Mazzaglia – Video Game Evangelist – Tiny Bull Studios

The usage of Artificial Intelligence in video game production has immediately sparked controversy linked to the notion of ‘AI sloppiness’ and the risk of undermining the entire creative process.

The workshop, however, aims to demonstrate in practical terms how Artificial Intelligence can be used to streamline prototyping and the range of complex tasks involved in product development.
Starting with the use of Claude Code and related tools, the workshop aims to give the audience a hands-on experience of the practical benefits of using AI in this field.

Our Speakers and Participants

Quite exciting, tailored for developers and team leaders. Interesting topics with some hands-on activity.

AI Heroes 2025, Participant

Having participated as a speaker at AIHeroes was an honor as well as very interesting. A real opportunity to explore the AI topic in depth, not only from a technical point of view.
