What does a Dev Lead actually do all day? Code? Coach? Unblock? Decide? Reprioritize? Repeat? At DevTalks Romania 2026, join Andreea Dragomirescu and Luiza Cicone on the DevLead Stage for a different kind of session: “Working Without a Script: Sometimes Coding, Always Leading.” This is not a framework talk. It’s an honest, coffee-style conversation about what leadership looks like in the reality of engineering teams—when priorities shift, trade-offs appear daily, and the hardest part of the role often has little to do with code. Together, Andreea and Luiza explore how they navigate when to stay close to technical work, when to step back, how they lead people through complexity, and why diversity in leadership matters. We're so excited to have these ladies on the DevLead stage, on June 3rd! 🎟️ Tickets Available here: devtalks.ro/tickets

We’re sure you can not miss this keynote. Because the real challenge of AI in software development is no longer writing code. It’s understanding what happens after. On June 4, at the DevOps Stage, Fatima Sarah Khalid, Senior Developer Advocate at @gitlab , will break down one of the biggest shifts happening inside engineering teams right now: the rise of agentic DevSecOps. From AI-generated merge requests and security bottlenecks to autonomous workflows and governance challenges, this session goes beyond the hype and straight into the reality teams are already facing. “After the Code: Reimagining DevSecOps for Agentic Teams” is the kind of keynote that leaves you with more than insights. It leaves you questioning how software teams will actually operate in the next few years. Want to find out more? Join her and other amazing speakers on the 4th of June on the DevOps Stage! See you there 👀 devtalks.ro/tickets

Whooo, 12 years already of DevTalks in our community. Looking back, it’s amazing to see how fast time flies, especially around DevTalks.🫂 We started with the idea of bringing together the entire Romanian IT community into one shared playground.

This year, the Romanian cities with the largest attendee groups are Cluj, Sibiu, Iasi, Brasov, Constanta, Timisoara, Pitesti, Craiova, Galati, and Oradea. So soon, planes and trains will be full of DevTalks attendees heading to Bucharest. Thank you all, it’s an honor to have you at the heart of DevTalks. And we’re continuing to explore innovation. This year, we’ll host topics ranging from AI, Big Data, Cloud, and Engineering to Product, Cybersecurity, Leadership, Java, DevOps, and QA. The stages will soon be buzzing, alongside dedicated spaces for discussions about Women in Tech, coaching in a transformative year, growing ideas, and investing in education from an early age. Behind every stage, every keynote, every conversation, and every breakthrough idea are the partners helping us build one of the strongest tech communities in Central & Eastern Europe. 𝟭𝟰 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀. 𝟭𝟲𝟬+ 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 & 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀. 𝟭𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬+ 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀. 𝟮 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗼, 𝗣𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝟭.

Not every feature deserves to survive. At DevTalks Romania 2026, meet Dinu-Ștefan Rusu, Senior Software Engineer at CodingShadows, with his session: “592 Builds Later: Features That Survived (And The Ones That Didn’t).” This is a practical and brutally honest look at what happens when you build mobile products in the real world—where users, reviews, and product decisions shape what lives and what quietly disappears in a hotfix. From features that helped apps reach #1 in their category, to ideas that looked great in theory and failed in production, Dinu shares lessons earned through iteration, feedback, and hundreds of release decisions. Because great products are not built by shipping everything. They’re built by learning what should stay. 🤭 Mark your calendar for this keynote! 📍 Meet him on the @Mobile Stage 📅 June 3th, 2026. 🎟️ Tickets available now: devtalks.ro/tickets

What happens when coding stops being the hard part? At DevTalks Romania 2026, meet Dan Mihai Dinu, CTO at SOLO, with his keynote: “Freefall: When Coding Stopped Being the Hard Part.” AI has changed something fundamental in software engineering. Tasks that once signaled strong technical ability can now be solved in seconds. Yet inside teams, the results are far from equal, some engineers accelerate dramatically, while others barely move. Same tools. Same environment. Very different outcomes. In this keynote, Dan explores what actually changed, why the transition feels messier than it looks, and which parts of engineering have become more important now that writing code is no longer the main challenge. 📍 DevTalks Romania 2026 📅 June 3–4, Romexpo 🎟️ Tickets available now: devtalks.ro/tickets

What happens when microfrontend architecture meets AI coding agents? At DevTalks Romania 2026, meet Alexander Günsche, Senior Solutions Architect at AWS, with his session: “Interface Contracts in Event-driven Microfrontend Architectures - From Team Autonomy to Agentic Coding.” As applications grow, the challenge isn’t just scaling systems, it’s keeping teams autonomous without creating architectural chaos. Alexander explores how contract-driven microfrontend design, event-driven patterns, and formal interface boundaries do more than help human teams collaborate. They may also be exactly what AI coding agents need to operate effectively. If you’re thinking about modular systems, frontend evolution, or how AI changes software architecture, this is one to catch. 📍 Web Stage- Romexpo, B1 Pavilion. 📅 June 3–4, Romexpo 🎟️ Tickets available now: bit.ly/4pGgZa9
