Infobip Shift 2026

Figma’s Designer Advocate argued that AI can make prototypes look finished too early, which can hide dangerous assumptions.

We’re waiting for the next big AI leap - systems learning from their own experience rather than just human data - and at Infobip Shift, Google DeepMind’s Benoit Schillings said that’s exactly where the field is headed.

Infobip Shift 2026 is officially open, and OpenAI’s Luis Velasco said the real work now is bringing together the data, process, and systems agents need to do the job well and keep improving.

I first met Benoit Schillings, VP of Research at Google DeepMind, in San Francisco to talk about what engineers do when AI writes more of the code. His answer: make sense of the massive systems we inherit. Now, he’s bringing that perspective to Zadar for Infobip Shift 2026.

Dana Lawson argues that AI has lowered the barrier to software development so much that the best way to learn is by building, shipping imperfect apps, and improving them along the way.

The jump from mid-level to senior engineer is often framed as a technical one. Michelle Brenner says the real difference is judgment: understanding the business, making pragmatic trade-offs, and knowing when to ask for help.

Amir Salihefendic, CEO and founder of Doist, says success now depends on solving real problems and building products people actually want to keep using.

At Infobip Shift, accomplished speaker and engineer Teresa Wu will talk about how AI is transforming software delivery, multi-platform development, and the future of engineering teams.

Infobip Shift 2026, Europe’s leading developer and AI conference, will be held in Zadar from September 13 to 15, bringing together developers and engineers from around the world once again.
