Build faster. Work smarter.
Developalooza ’26 is a half-day event for IT and operations leaders and the Appfarm community on the two ways AI is changing enterprise software: how you build it, and how it makes your operations more productive.
Why attend
The program is built for IT and operations leaders working out what AI means for building software and boosting productivity, with perspectives from the companies and builders already doing it.
01
A clear view on building with AI
What building enterprise software with AI looks like in practice, what it means for no-code, and how to think about build vs. buy now that almost anything can be built.
02
A practical model for Enterprise AI
How to move past individuals using AI chatbots and toward an agentic organization with AI embedded in real business processes.
03
An honest look at what works
Companies who’ve built with AI and put it to work, telling you what worked, what didn’t, and what they’d do differently.
The day at a glance
Keynotes, demos, and honest conversations, followed by the Appfarm Cage Fight, dinner, and an afterparty worth sticking around for.

Keynote
No-code is dead.
Long live no-code.
For a decade, analysts predicted an enterprise surge in low-code and no-code that never quite arrived. Eighteen months of vibe coding changed that: for the first time, almost everyone can see a path to custom software in their own business.
But creating a first version was never the hard part of the job. Marius looks at what AI has actually made easier in enterprise software, what it hasn’t touched at all, and why the idea underneath no-code matters more now, not less.

Customer story
NAV Ringsaker
Ringsakerkompasset set out to give refugees arriving in Ringsaker a way into local life. When the team got tired of being told their digital platform couldn’t be done, they opened Appfarm to find out for themselves. What they built, the collaboration with the Appfarm team, and how a small project far down in NAV made it all the way to launch.

Energima
Energima shares what months of heavy usage of Appfarm AI has taught them. The credits used, the hours saved, and where in an app’s lifecycle the value really sits, along with a demo and their practical tips.

Panel
Build vs. Buy: If anyone can build, what do you still buy?
AI has made building your own software cheaper than ever, and at the same time raised the bar for what off-the-shelf products are expected to deliver. The panel looks at where the line between build and buy sits now, what it really costs to own what you’ve built, and what AI is doing to the SaaS market.

Keynote
The four levels of enterprise AI
Most organizations have given employees access to an AI assistant, but how do you put AI to work in the business itself? Kristain draws the line between personal and process productivity, sets out the four levels of enterprise AI that live on the other side of it, and demonstrates each one running in Appfarm.

Panel
Why is enterprise AI adoption so slow?
Every large organisation says it’s doing AI, and far less of it is actually running in production. The panel looks at how wide that gap really is, the tension between personal and process productivity, and what governance, security and data sovereignty have done to the pace.
