Design cycles are speeding up while the expectations on product teams keep stretching wider. Designers and developers sit closer than ever, yet the seams between their workflows still snag. AI adds fresh superpowers, but also fresh confusion about who does what, and when.
Participants will walk away with a clearer picture of how roles are shifting, how to reduce friction in fast moving cycles, and how to build a shared language across design and engineering. They’ll learn practical ways to align earlier, collaborate through uncertainty, and use AI as a bridge rather than a wedge. The session sends people back to their teams with tools for smoother delivery and a healthier, more resilient partnership.

As technology evolves, ‘new’ ways fast become ‘old’ ways. Adaptability is important to thrive in an ever-changing work environment. Being able to adapt to changing environments and work processes makes you a competitive job candidate and a strong overall professional. Our panelists will discuss the characteristics and actions that will help you adapt to a modern workplace, and become better at your craft, and a better leader.
