10X AI Engineering & Dark Factories
STEP INSIDE THE DARK FACTORY.
Autonomous engineering is already reshaping how R&D orgs ship. Spend an afternoon with Develeap, AWS, and the people building production-grade Dark Factories — live demos, real architectures, no slideware.
June 18th 2026 | 14:00 — 18:00
AWS 28th Floor, Sarona Tower
Speakers
Everyone's talking about AI engineering. We'll show you what it ships.
Dark Factories aren't a thesis — they're a build. Autonomous agents writing, testing, deploying, and operating production code while engineers focus on what only humans can do. This is the room where VPs of R&D, engineering leaders, and senior developers see what's already running in the field — and walk out with a clear read on where the industry is heading in the next 12 months.
Levels of Automation
25-min talk + live demo
A practical framework for automation maturity — why most R&D orgs stall at Level 2 while competitors run Level 4, with a live demo of moving up using AI agents.
Omri Spector · Founder, Develeap
Dark Titan,
a platform for dark factories
25-min deep dive
Inside Develeap's autonomous engineering platform: architecture, agents, integrations, and live customer use-cases already in production — and what it means for any org moving toward autonomous engineering.
Kobi Avshalom · CTO, Develeap
Coding in the Open — Shopify Case Study
25-min case study
Inspired by Shopify's 'coding in the open' culture — what an autonomous, transparent engineering org actually looks like, and what Israeli R&D teams can adopt now, not in five years.
Tomer Patel · Senior Engineering Leader, Akamai
Agent and LLM observability in the agentic age
25-min talk
When AI agents hit production, standard monitoring isn't enough — your observability needs to evolve alongside your R&D. Discover how Elastic bridges the gap, helping you eliminate blind spots like unpredictable token usage, hidden costs, and agent downtime.
Ido Friedman · Principal Solutions Architect, Elastic
"Where Do We Go From Here?" — The future of the developer and the R&D org

Turn AI hype into shipped systems.
Walk out with patterns your team can put to work on Monday — not slideware, not buzzwords. How real R&D orgs are moving from AI-assisted to AI-operated, and keeping production under control at scale.
-
Wire Gen AI into your engineering org — safely, and at the level of maturity that fits where you actually are.
-
See an autonomous engineering platform running in production — agents, architecture, integrations, real use cases.
-
Walk out with a clear read on the next 12 months — what every R&D leader should be doing now, not later.
