Platform Nation London | AI + Platform Engineering Meetup

Join us for an evening of conversation, food, and drinks with Platform Engineering, DevOps, and Engineering leaders exploring how AI is reshaping software delivery and operational scale.
As organizations move beyond AI experimentation, engineering teams are facing a new challenge: how to safely operationalize AI across the SDLC while maintaining governance, visibility, and developer velocity.
