Many organizations already use AI in isolated parts of their workflow. In many cases, however, AI only accelerates one phase, such as coding, while new bottlenecks appear elsewhere. This event takes a broader view. It shows how AI can support the full design and engineering lifecycle in a way that is practical, human-centered, and effective across disciplines.

From idea to production: the full lifecycle in one day
The program covers the key stages of modern digital product and system development. Topics include requirements engineering & analysis, digital design & prototyping, software architecture & engineering, as well as quality assurance of the final product. The event also creates space for discussion about challenges, success factors, and the organizational conditions needed for end-to-end AI maturity.
Structure of the program
The day opens with an IREB keynote on AI in digital design and engineering. It continues with sessions on requirements engineering & analysis, and digital design & prototyping. In the afternoon, the focus shifts to software architecture & engineering, introduced by an iSAQB keynote. The program is completed by a panel discussion, parallel tutorials, and a joint discussion panel to close the event.
Initial agenda
- 09:00–13:15: Welcome and opening

The detailed agenda will be provided until end of March
Our evening tutorials: 𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀. 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹! M𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗜
In the evening, participants choose the track that best matches their role and interests. The IREB track focuses on design, discovery, requirements, and prototyping. The iSAQB track explores architecture decisions, code workflows, refactoring, and documentation with AI. Both tracks are hands-on and turn the event into a real bootcamp rather than a lecture-only format.
Who should attend
This event is for professionals who shape, build, or improve digital solutions and systems. It is especially relevant for requirements engineers, software architects, developers, UX and UI professionals, product managers, project leads, QA specialists, and engineering leads. It is particularly valuable for anyone who wants to use AI not in isolation, but across teams, disciplines, and the full delivery lifecycle.
Your takeaway
Participants will gain an up-to-date and realistic view of how AI can support the full design and engineering process. They will identify common bottlenecks, discover practical approaches, and gain hands-on experience in the tutorial sessions. The event provides more than insights. It helps participants define clearer next steps toward end-to-end AI maturity in their own context.
We are part of Graz Connects
As a co-located event of Graz Connects, this format is embedded in a broader international community focused on human-centered innovation. For participants, this means additional visibility, new connections, and fresh perspectives beyond their own domain. Graz provides the ideal setting for an interdisciplinary event that brings together design, engineering, and AI.
