Every year, TechBash brings together developers, architects, and technologists who want to grow — not just in skill, but in confidence, creativity, and community. It’s the kind of event where you walk in curious and walk out changed. And this year, the keynote lineup captures that spirit perfectly.

Before the breakout sessions and hallway conversations that make TechBash unforgettable, attendees will gather for two keynotes that speak directly to the heart of modern software development: navigating uncertainty and embracing possibility.

These aren’t just talks. They’re catalysts.

Competence Is Overrated — Amy Norris

Amy Norris opens TechBash with a message every developer needs to hear: growth doesn’t come from knowing everything — it comes from showing up anyway. Her keynote reframes self‑doubt as a sign that you’re pushing into new territory, not falling behind. It’s a reminder that the best developers aren’t the ones who have all the answers — they’re the ones who stay curious, stay resilient, and keep moving forward.

This is the kind of talk that makes you sit up a little straighter. The kind that stays with you long after the conference ends.

AI Software Factory: How to Deliver Features During Lunch — Jeffrey Palermo

Jeffrey Palermo brings the future into focus with a keynote about building real, sustainable velocity in an AI‑powered world. Not hype. Not shortcuts. Actual engineering discipline that helps teams ship faster and smarter. He shows how AI can amplify human creativity — not replace it — and how teams can build processes that unlock the kind of productivity that once felt impossible.

It’s a vision of what’s next, grounded in what’s real.

Why This Matters

TechBash isn’t just about learning new tools or techniques. It’s about becoming the kind of developer who thrives in a world that’s constantly changing. These keynotes set the tone for that journey — inspiring, challenging, and energizing attendees before they dive into everything else the conference offers.
