Enterprise Complexity Ceiling: Why the Tech Stack Isn’t Getting Smaller
Host: Sebastian E. Grodzietzki, IBM
Info: Modern enterprise tech stacks are messy - by design: Multi-cloud, uncountable APIs, legacy + new. Now add AI across everything. It doesn’t reduce complexity; it magnifies it.

Why MCP is Only the Plumbing: Building the Contextual Foundation for AI Agents
Host: Bastian Maiworm, Amber
Info: AI connectivity standards like MCP enable access to data, but not true understanding. As organizations deploy autonomous agents, a gap emerges between data access and context. This session explores why the next phase of AI requires a “corporate brain” — a shared knowledge foundation that enables agents to act intelligently, not just react.
đź•‘: 04:55 PM - 05:20 PM
SaaS engineering: How Small teams Run and Evolve Enterprise-scale Systems
Host: Matthias Heicke, CTO / Co-Founder, Sweap.io
Info: Software engineering is shifting from building systems to continuously operating and evolving them. This session explores how a small team at Sweap runs a large-scale event platform using automation, serverless, and AI, and what this means for architecture, team structure, and maintaining reliable systems under constant growth and change.
