Another QED conference is on the horizon
QED (Quality in Enterprise Development) is a BizTech conference where global tech and business leaders, as well as industry experts, have been meeting to learn, connect, and have fun for the last 20 years.
This QED edition is about Mastery: stepping out of autopilot and taking the wheel. As AI reshapes how we work, we explore when to trust it, when to question it, and how to combine human judgment and technical excellence to shape what comes next.
