AI Coding Days
The conference for Agentic Engineering in professional software organisations
Agentic Engineering as an enterprise standard
From Cursor and Claude Code to the AI software factory – practice, governance, security and scaling from organisations already working this way today.
For CTOs, engineering leaders, architects and senior engineers.

Individual AI tools become a new engineering model
Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Codex and other AI tools are already changing the daily work of software engineers.
For larger organisations, the real challenge starts after that. It is not about giving individual developers an AI coding assistant.
It is about answering much bigger questions – and that is exactly what the AI Coding Days are about.
The questions behind the tool rollout
- How does our software development lifecycle change?
- What will engineering teams look like in the future?
- Which tasks do developers own – and which do AI agents own?
- How do we orchestrate multiple agents?
- How do we ensure code quality and security?
- Which data may go into cloud models?
- When do we need local or European models?
- What governance do we need?
- How do we measure productivity gains?
- How do we move hundreds of developers onto a new working model?
- And how do individual experiments become an enterprise standard?
From pilot to engineering transformation
Many organisations are already experimenting with AI coding. Individual developers deliver impressive results. Teams use Cursor, Claude Code or Copilot. Early agents write code, tests or documentation.
But between a successful experiment and an enterprise-wide engineering organisation sits a large step.
Suddenly new questions appear: architecture, security, governance, quality, skills, processes, tooling, cost, compliance, organisation.
Agentic Engineering is therefore not a pure tooling question. It is a transformation of software development.
Learn from organisations and engineers already on this path
Some engineering teams have been working intensively with AI-assisted and agentic software development for a long time. They have tried, discarded, rebuilt and developed ways of working that go well beyond classic AI assistants.
AI Coding Days bring these practitioners together with organisations that now need to introduce and scale Agentic Engineering in a structured way.
No future visions. No AI basics. No “10 prompts for better software development”. Concrete experience from modern software engineering.
The questions organisations must answer today
Technology
Which models and tools belong in our future engineering stack? Cursor? Claude Code? Copilot? Codex? Open models? Local LLMs? And how do we combine them sensibly?
Software factory
How do agent pipelines emerge where AI does not only generate lines of code, but plans, implements, tests and reviews work?
Quality
How do we prevent higher development speed from creating technical debt? What role do tests, automated reviews and quality gates play?
Security & privacy
Which information may be sent to external models? When do we need local models or on-premise solutions?
Governance
Which rules do developers and agents need? How do we create standards without slowing innovation down?
Organisation
How do roles, teams and responsibilities change? Which skills will software engineers need next?
Scaling
How do a few successful AI pioneers become an engineering model for 50, 200 or 1,000 developers?
From “AI coding” to the software factory
The next stage is not writing code faster. It is representing parts of the full software development process in an agentic way.
One agent analyses requirements. Another plans the implementation. Further agents implement, test and review changes. People define architecture, context, quality standards and decision boundaries.
Step by step, a new form of software development emerges: the AI-supported software factory. At AI Coding Days, practitioners show how such approaches are built today – and where their limits are.
Who are the AI Coding Days for?
The event is aimed especially at organisations that develop software strategically and want to bring Agentic Engineering into their organisation.
CTOs and CIOs
How does Agentic Engineering change technology, organisation and cost structure?
Heads of Engineering and Development
How must teams, processes and platforms be built going forward?
Software Architects
How do agents change architecture, development environments and toolchains?
Engineering Managers
How are developers enabled and how do shared standards emerge?
Senior Software Engineers
What does professional Agentic Engineering look like beyond simple coding assistants?
No vibe coding. Enterprise engineering.
AI Coding Days is not an AI beginner conference. The focus is real engineering questions:
- Agent Orchestration
- Software Factories
- Cursor in Production
- Claude Code Enterprise
- Repo-wide Agent Contexts
- Tests & Quality Gates
- Local LLMs
- Privacy & Compliance
- Open Models
- Engineering Governance
- Developer Enablement
- Enterprise-wide Standards
The central question is always: How can Agentic Engineering actually work in professional software development?
One day that can change your engineering roadmap
Many organisations are currently shaping their own strategy for AI-supported software development. AI Coding Days offer a chance to align that strategy with people who already have practical experience.
What works? What does not? Which mistakes can other organisations avoid? Which technologies are already production-ready? And which organisational changes are often underestimated?
Our goal is not to present finished answers. Our goal is to help organisations reach reliable answers faster.
Exchange at eye level
Agentic Engineering is evolving extremely fast. Nobody can claim to have found the final model already. That is exactly where the value of AI Coding Days lies.
The maxim is know-how exchange between participants: a knowledge conference where engineering leaders, architects and developers compare experiences, architectures and approaches.
Vendors do not explain the future to organisations. Practitioners discuss with practitioners how that future is emerging right now.
Why now?
In a few years, AI support will be a natural part of professional software development.
The decisive competitive advantage therefore does not come from eventually adopting AI coding tools. It comes from learning early how to integrate AI productively, safely and at scale into the engineering organisation.
That is exactly why AI Coding Days exist.
Bring your Engineering Team
For larger organisations, the strongest lever is often not a single ticket – but a shared day for leadership and key engineering people.
Send your CTO or Head of Development together with several senior engineers and architects. That creates a shared picture of governance, skills, metrics and the path from the first agent-pipeline experiment to an engineering standard.
On the tickets page you will find the current packages for individuals and teams.
Venue
In the heart of Cologne we meet at a major Rhineland hub – the RheinEnergieStadion. In the evening we gather on the Kölner Ring for a networking dinner where all participants can exchange ideas. Afterwards there is a small party for those who still want to keep networking.
Personal statement from the founder
Quality and deep knowledge around Agentic Engineering decide whether software organisations in Germany can keep up internationally. AI Coding Days exist for exactly that: so engineering leaders and teams can learn, exchange and turn experiments into a standard.
