Why Attend?

Learn From Real Production Systems

Hear how leading engineering teams design, deploy, and operate mission-critical workflows at enterprise scale, on the same open-source engine that started at Netflix.

Solve Hard Orchestration Challenges

Gain practical approaches to durable execution: long-running processes, distributed failures, retries, state, and human approvals that take days.

Build Reliable Agentic Systems

Discover how deterministic orchestration and built-in explainability make AI-powered processes safer to run, easier to debug, and ready for production.

Meet the People Operating at Scale

Connect with engineers and architects who have built, migrated, and operated workflows at the scale Conductor runs today: 1B+ executions a day.
