Geektime's Evolve to AI 2026 Conference to Focus on Agentic SDLC and Agents
Geektime's Evolve to AI 2026 conference will take place on November 4 at Tel Aviv University, focusing on Agentic SDLC, enterprise AI agents, security, and production scaling.

The Evolve to AI conference by Geektime is returning for its upcoming edition, focusing this year on Agentic SDLC and internal enterprise AI agents. Scheduled for November 4, 2026, at the Smolarz Auditorium at Tel Aviv University, the premier event for Israel's developer community is expected to host around 1,200 software engineers, DevOps/MLOps specialists, AI engineers, and system architects.
Moving from Experiments to Production
This year's conference addresses a critical turning point where AI agents are transitioning from mere sandbox experiments and demos to active integration within organizational workflows and development pipelines. Engineering teams are now tasked with proving measurable value while establishing robust testing, security, memory, and control frameworks around autonomous systems without falling behind performance bottlenecks, production crashes, and technical debt.
Key Highlights from the Conference Agenda
-
Risk-Based Ownership: Aviv Zaken, Head of Engineering at Brandlight, will examine how AI models generate code faster than humans can review it, shifting the primary bottleneck. Through a production case study, he will demonstrate how to balance human oversight with end-to-end agent autonomy.
-
Deterministic Architecture: Yuval Luria, Senior Machine Learning Engineer at Red Hat, will introduce Neural Navigator, an AI assistant for the agentic stack that translates natural language into structured requirements, optimizing model selection based on accuracy, cost, and latency.
-
Least Agency Principle: Emmanuel Tessa, Global Application Security Director at Verint, will address enterprise AI security, explaining why organizations must shift from the principle of least privilege to least agency to prevent indirect prompt injection vulnerabilities.
Tickets are currently on sale, and developers are invited to secure their spots for a day of technical deep dives, networking, and actionable insights into the future of software development.
