API Technology & Developer Summit
API Design, Development, and Deployment
A successful API program begins with well designed APIs that deliver the functionality and data needed by the audiences they target. With the introduction of AI coding agents and assistants, these audiences have shifted and grown dramatically, requiring teams to rethink their RESTful, gRPC, GraphQL and similar API approaches – including whether to modify these endpoints to support MCP – while also ensuring their code is optimized to handle the expected traffic. Learn from other developers who have successfully navigated these changes as they share their best practices and experience to inspire you to do the same in your organization.
API Operations and Management
Most APIs were designed to serve application loads and integrate with systems designed with a human user in mind. AI radically changes these requirements as more people with less traditional development backgrounds are able to “vibe code” software solutions using commercial coding assistants. In this track, you’ll hear from operations specialists and other experts who have successfully hardened their infrastructure and operations processes to meet the growing demand for their data and functionality while applying some of these same AI tools to expedite their work.
API Security
APIs make accessing organizational data and functionality easier and more effective than ever – opening countless potential threat vectors that need to be monitored and addressed. Hear from experts on how they address common API security threats, how AI has changed their approach, and how best to secure API programs now and into the future.
API AI & Innovation Summit
APIs in the Age of AI
AI changes not only how we develop and deliver software, but also how we build, manage, and monitor API-enabled workloads. From automating endpoint design and documentation, to developing the code behind the endpoints to monitoring traffic for issues and anomalies, AI is finding its way into more steps in the full development lifecycle. Hear from technical leaders as they share their approaches to these new challenges, the successes they have experienced, and the best practices they have learned in order to prepare and strengthen your team as this technology continues to rapidly evolve.
Vertical APIs and the API Economy
APIs enable organizations from across varying industries and market segments to leverage their data and functionality to take advantage of new opportunities and adapt as the market changes around them. In this track, experts share the tools, methodologies, and processes they have developed to help you support and grow your organization’s API program.
API Business & Executive Summit
API Business Strategy
APIs are often viewed as a technical approach to distributed application development, but they’re almost more important as a business enabler, allowing the organization to more effectively and rapidly seize on new opportunities with less risk and cost. Join experts as they share their business success with their API programs and inspire you to find new ways to increase revenue and satisfy your customers.
API Partnerships and Integration
API business success is often driven through building key strategic partnerships in order to expand functionality or reach new markets with varying levels of technical effort or contractual negotiation. Hear how successful API programs drive business development efforts and streamline adoption of enterprise software across organizations.
MCP Summit
Model Context Protocol (MCP)
As APIs are integrated into the age of AI, we are seeing an acceleration of API access via MCPs. Learn about MCP Design and Integration.
