The theme of this edition is Fast Flow, Strong Foundations. Scaling Shared Understanding in an AI-Accelerated World.

Software delivery is accelerating. AI can generate code, tests and documentation in seconds. But speed alone does not create alignment. When artefacts become cheap, shared understanding becomes fragile. And without shared understanding, intent gets lost. At Living Documentation Event 2026, we explore how to scale shared understanding in an AI-accelerated world.
