The 13th Annual Keep Austin Agile Conference (Fri, April 10, 2026)

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

KAA 2026 is where Agile practitioners, leaders, and builders come to work through what's actually hard right now: delivering real value, building trust across teams, and figuring out where AI fits without losing the human system underneath it.

*** REGISTER HERE***

This isn't a theory conference. The speakers are doing the work.
Our keynote, Kevin Koym, has helped over 6,500 entrepreneurs across 42 countries build something real. He founded Tech Ranch Austin. He's seen what stalls people and what moves them. If you're building something, leading something, or still figuring out what comes next, his talk is worth your whole morning.

The rest of the lineup covers leadership, product, teams, and technology. Talks and workshops. Practitioners and executives. A room full of people who take this seriously.

If that sounds like your kind of day, purchase tickets here: https://www.agileaustin.org/kaa-2026-ticket-info

Austin Forum | BUILDING REAL SOFTWARE WITH AI: A HANDS-ON WORKSHOP (Fri, April 17, 2026)

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 18:30:00 GMT

EVENT SUMMARY

AI tools have gotten remarkably good at writing code. What used to take hours of boilerplate and syntax lookup can now happen in seconds. That changes the game — but it also changes what you need to be good at.

This will be a hands-on introduction to building software with AI assistants. Using Claude Code and other modern tools, we'll write real features, fix real bugs, and see firsthand how AI accelerates development — and where it quietly introduces problems if you're not paying attention. You'll learn how to work with AI coding tools effectively, how to evaluate what they generate instead of blindly trusting it, and why practices like testing, code review, and version control become your most important safety net when AI is writing the code.

Whether you write code daily or are exploring development for the first time, you'll leave with practical skills and a clear-eyed view of what AI can and can't do for you.

Austin Forum | DISCUSSION OF "CO-INTELLIGENCE: LIVING AND WORKING WITH AI" (Wed, April 29, 2026)

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 00:15:00 GMT

AGENDA

7:15 - 8:30 p.m. Discussion

EVENT SUMMARY

In "Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI," Wharton professor and author of the popular One Useful Thing Substack newsletter Ethan Mollick urges us to thoughtfully engage with AI as co-worker, co-teacher, and coach. This co-pilot concept differs significantly from the obvious temptation at hand, i.e., letting our favorite AI platform take over as the lead voice on any given project.

Hugh Forrest will lead a robust discussion of the basic concepts of "Co-Intelligence" as well as a more general conversation of how AI has changed our approaches to productivity and efficiency.

Some of the discussion points to be covered at this April 29 online only event will include:

What are your best hacks for implementing AI as a co-worker in your day-to-day routine?
Have there been instances where you have realized you have given too much power or authority to AI? What led you to this realization and how did you remedy this problem?
Are you enamored with one particular AI platform -- or do you favor the multi-platform approach?
"Co-Intelligence" was published in April 2024. How has the book aged over the last two years? Are Mollick's insights and advice on co-piloting still relevant as AI continues to evolve at a breakneck pace?
Looking to the future as opposed to looking at the past, how do you see AI changing and evolving as a workplace and at-home tool over the next few years?

This discussion will appeal to AI experienced and inexperienced users of all levels and abilities. Come with your positive (and negative) stories about life in our new LLM world as we gain a better understanding of the ever-changing role of humans in the complicated path forward

ATTENDANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Online via Google Meet
Once you register via Eventbrite, you will receive the direct link in your confirmation email. You will also receive the link in a reminder email before the event. HERE

Space is limited, so please register only if you’re confident you can attend—and kindly cancel your registration if your plans change so we can open your spot to another participant.
