Join us as we walk through real decoupled builds across Contentful, Drupal, and Contentstack - and how each project's architecture choices unlocked AI-ready, activation-centered experiences that gave them the edge they needed.

Modern composable architectures give teams a structural advantage for discovery - but only if they rethink how discovery works.

Digital transformation isn’t just about adopting new tools and establishing new policies, it’s about reshaping the foundations that allow our systems, content, and teams to evolve.

At Evolving Web, we built a new visualization tool for GRID (Global Repository of Income Dynamics - https://www.grid-database.org/ - one of the leaders of this project is a professor from Princeton.), an application that serves 300+ economic statistics through a fully dynamic react inte

Accessibility today is largely static developers implement guidelines and hope they work for everyone. But what if interfaces could adapt in real time to each user’s unique needs?

The session introduces a cutting-edge approach to accessibility

This session introduces web developers to the world of IoT through ESPHome, a tool that lets you configure and flash microcontrollers using nothing more than a YAML file and a web browser. 

AI is increasingly being integrated into modern, decoupled architectures, but most implementations still rely on short-lived, request-based interactions.

Context is the real secret sauce for AI. And if your application is 100% driven by customizable configuration, then you've got all the secret sauce you need, because your config info expresses the complete context for what your application is and how it works. 

Non-profits are sitting on a content problem that is quietly getting worse. Their teams are already stretched thin, every piece of content touches multiple stakeholders before it goes live, and the traditional solution (hire more people, add more process) is simply not available to them.

This talk explores the overlooked experiences of neurodivergent developers (for example, those with autism, ADHD, or similar traits) and how these qualities shape our professional lives.

The headless CMS landscape is crowded — Contentful, Sanity, Hygraph, Strapi — but when it comes to building AI-powered digital experiences, not all content platforms are created equal.

Composable promised flexibility and best-in-class providers. Too often it delivers integration spaghetti, brittle releases, and a developer experience that loses to the monoliths it was meant to replace. That gap is the composable tax.

AI-assisted development is accelerating delivery—but in decoupled architectures, it’s also reshaping how quality breaks.

AI-generated content is quickly becoming mainstream, but what does that mean for CMS architecture?

Up to 40% of code is now AI-generated, but developers trust AI output less than ever. The problem isn't the tools, it's that we're using them wrong.

Headless CMS platforms promise flexibility, speed, and omnichannel delivery. In enterprise environments, though, the hardest part of a replatform is rarely the technology. It is getting people with competing priorities to agree on what the content model should do, and why.

AI coding agents can write features, open PRs, and pass test suites.

In the early days of headless, we sacrificed the editorial experience for frontend performance. By 2026, that compromise is officially obsolete.

Nonprofits don't need new platforms. They need the ones they already have to work together and to think.

AI is reshaping digital experience platforms, but much of what’s marketed today won’t survive real-world scale.
