What we build - the technology New tools arrive weekly. Architectural patterns shift. Practices are being rewritten. We want to hear from the people doing the work: What’s holding up in production? What isn’t? And what would you tell your team tomorrow? rebuildcon.uk

Re:Build is a new London developer conference about the people who build software, not the hype around it. What we build, how we build it, and who we become as AI reshapes our craft. Short talks, then real conversations. No recordings. 5 & 6 May 2027 Founding tickets: rebuildcon.uk

Sponsor the conversation, not the stage. Re:Build is a new, community-first developer conference in London, 5 & 6 May 2027. Every sponsor hosts a table in The Conversation, where attendees rotate through and share honest feedback. Sponsorship is open. Email kim@rebuildcon.uk for the pack.

Hello, world! We're Re:Build: a brand new developer conference in London, 5 & 6 May 2027. Built around the people who build software: craft, connection, change and humanity. Shorter talks, The Conversation, roundtables, hallway chats & a badger named Patch. Founding tickets are open: rebuildcon.uk

I'm helping at the relaunch @accuorg.bsky.social 🎉 Wed 4 Nov, 18:30, London Keynote from Meri Williams on how engineering skills improve, then Speed AMAs: private 10-min 1:1s with senior engineers: Paul Grenyer, Quasar Chunawala & Paul Ardeleanu Spaces are limited: luma.com/tpxd3p4u

A few days ago we opened Founding tickets for @rebuildcon.bsky.social. Tickets are going, sponsors are signing and community groups are getting involved. For a first-year event, that trust means a lot. Thank you. 5 & 6 May 2027, London. Founding tickets are limited: rebuildcon.uk

Tickets for Re:Build are open. Two days in London, 5 & 6 May 2027, for people who build software and aren’t sure what that means anymore. Nothing recorded. You’ll have to be there. rebuildcon.uk

We talk a lot about what AI can build. Less about what it means for the people building it. At Re:Build, bring your questions & leave with practical insights, clarity on what comes next & connections that last. Let's work it out together. 5 & 6 May 2027 rebuildcon.uk

AI isn't the whole story. Re:Build explores three threads: → What we build (the tech) → How we build it (the way we work) → Who we become (the human bit) 5 & 6 May 2027, London. rebuildcon.uk

Something like: Is the junior developer role disappearing, and does that matter? We're really curious where these go. What question would you want to put to the room? 5 & 6 May 2027, London Founding tickets on sale from 14 October. rebuildcon.uk

have an obvious answer. Then the room turns to its tables, each hosted by an expert. Throughout the session, people will swap to neighbouring tables to hear new perspectives. No pretending someone has already figured it all out. 2/3

Some things don't need another conference talk. They need a conversation. At Re:Build we're trying something called The Conversation. It's our take on the World Café, built for a room of 300. Each one starts with a short talk to frame a question that doesn't... 1/3

We've just launched rebuildcon.uk, so have a look around. And if there's a question you think we should be asking, we'd love to hear it.

- How do we keep learning when the ground keeps moving? - What do we want tech to do for us & what do we want to keep doing? We don't have the answers. We think we'll work them out better together, which is why we're building Re:Build, a 2day conference in London on 5 & 6 May.

We've been thinking a lot about questions lately. Not the ones with a neat answer. The ones where you find yourself saying "Hmm I'm not sure…" - What happens to our roles when AI can do more of the work? - What does being a great engineer look like when the tools keep changing?

We're Re:Build, a new 2day conference for the people behind the code, not just the code. The future hasn't compiled yet. Come help build it. What to expect: - Shorter talks - The Conversation, our new participatory format - More space to talk about craft rebuildcon.uk

"In a world that's artificially intelligent, how do you stay authentically human?" That's the question behind Re:Build. A new two-day conference in London covering - What we build - How we build it - Who we become Save the date: 5 & 6 May 2027 rebuildcon.uk
