Mini-conference series by Zenika Singapore

Where Singapore's builders ask what comes after the hype.

A recurring evening of candid, practitioner-led conversation on AI-Driven Development: the workflows, tools and transformation reshaping how software gets built.

In partnership with Microsoft
Practitioners at a What's Next? panel discussion
What is What's Next?

A room of practitioners, not a pitch deck.

What's Next? is a mini-conference series organised by Zenika Singapore for the people actually shipping AI into production. Each edition brings CTOs, engineering leads and AI practitioners together for short, honest panels — no vendor theatre, just what's working, what broke, and what comes next.

Held in Singapore. Speakers to date from CACIB, Grab, GovTech, Zenika Singapore, GitHub, DoctorsAnywhere, Banyan Group and Vouch.

The themes we dig into
01

Agentic AI Workflows

Autonomous agents in the development loop — orchestration, guardrails and where hand-offs to humans still matter.

02

AI Tools

The tooling stack that actually earns its place — copilots, evaluators and the workflows teams keep versus drop.

03

AI Transformation

Taking AI from pilot to org-wide practice — culture, enablement and the messy reality of change at scale.
