IBM Keynote: IBM i, AI, and the World of Modern Development

IBM i is a truly amazing platform. It started life as AS/400 over 36 years ago, and with its visionary architecture and an eye to the future continues to meet and often exceed the needs of our user community. With the world of AI running headlong toward us, what are we to do? For the IBM i development team, we are actively embracing AI to help our users take advantage of this amazing technology while continuing to honor the pillars this platform has known all these years: security, reliability, cost performance and future-proofing the core business applications your business depends on.

Microsoft Keynote: Microsoft and the CoPilot Revolution

Discover the landscape of conversational AI solutions with Microsoft’s CoPilot offerings in this comprehensive session. We’ll start with an in-depth look at CoPilot for Microsoft 365, Microsoft’s flagship AI experience that is transforming how users interact with everyday applications. Explore how you can extend M365 CoPilot to meet custom scenarios, tailoring its capabilities to fit specific business needs.

We’ll also delve into the new frontier of low-code AI solutions, made possible through CoPilot Studio and the Power Platform. These tools open up AI development to a broader audience, empowering users of all technical backgrounds to build and deploy conversational AI without deep coding expertise.

Finally, we will address the professional developer’s perspective, focusing on the engineering considerations for building CoPilots from the ground up. Learn best practices for designing robust, scalable, and secure AI solutions that align with Microsoft’s ecosystem.

Several executives and architects will discuss how they modernized their legacy applications developed in CA 2E, CA Plex, and other languages. This will be an interactive discussion – bring your own modernization experiences and questions to this group.
