Are you working at the intersection of AI and software development? Merge is seeking speakers to share practical insights around “AI at Work: Practical Intelligence for Software Teams.” We’re looking for talks that explore how teams are actually using AI in their workflows, from code review to prototyping, from product discovery to accessible design.
Speaking Logistics
We offer two speaking formats:
Main Stage Talks (45 minutes): Deep dives into your experiences, methodologies, and lessons learned
Lightning Talks (5 minutes): Got a 5-minute lightning talk that doesn't fit the AI theme? Submit it anyway—we love a good 'extracurricular' lightning talk to keep the energy high and the ideas flowing.
Submit your presentation no later than February 22, 2026! You'll hear back from us by March 6th, 2026.
