AI-Ready Infrastructure: The IBM Power Advantage - Jeff Boleman 
Join us for a one-hour strategic session on building an infrastructure foundation capable of handling the demands of modern AI and Machine Learning (ML) workloads.
..
Key discussions will cover:
- Power11 Roadmap: Get an look at the next-generation IBM Power processor and hear client success stories driving enterprise modernization.
- AI on Power: Learn best practices for integrating AI and ML tools, defining clear modernization pathways for your critical applications.
- Hybrid Cloud & Red Hat: Explore how IBM Power integrates with Red Hat OpenShift to deliver a scalable, consistent Hybrid Cloud environment optimized for robust ML enablement. 
Discover how the IBM Power platform provides the resilient, high-performance architecture required for today's data-intensive business transformation.

Watch AI Agents Build on IBM i -  Live - Alex Roytman
In this session, Alex Roytman is going to open CoderFlow on a live IBM i system — right in front of you. Multiple AI agents will work in parallel to generate, compile, and run real IBM i code from scratch, in real time. You’ll see how the platform orchestrates competing agents, evaluates their output through built-in judges, and selects the best solution — all while the developer simply describes what they need.
..
But this goes well beyond code generation. You’ll watch these agents compile programs, work with IBM i data, and operate live 5250 sessions — all autonomously. This is AI that doesn’t just write code — it handles the entire development process on its own.
And yes, even the presentation materials for this session were built with CoderFlow. This isn’t a canned demo or a polished highlight reel — it’s a raw, honest look at what agentic coding actually looks like on IBM i. You’ll see what works, what surprises us, and why this changes the math on everything from backlogs to modernization timelines.
Come ready to see something you haven’t seen before.
..
Key Takeaways:
1. See CoderFlow’s multi-agent architecture in action on real IBM i development tasks
2. Watch AI agents compile, access data, and navigate 5250 sessions — not just generate code
3. Understand how “developer as orchestrator” works in practice — not theory
4. Get an honest look at where AI-assisted IBM i development stands today and where it’s heading
