Overview
AI Native Dev Con NYC is a three-day event in Brooklyn focused on mastering agentic coding for developers and teams building trusted software factories. The 2026 conference will explore how teams transition from individual agents to systems that build, verify, and ship software reliably. Attendees can expect real-world AI engineering insights, practical dev tooling, and hands-on sessions from industry leaders.

Build your own software factory with context
Most teams using coding agents hit the same wall. The agent writes code quickly, but someone still has to review it, check it for security problems and keep an eye on what it costs. A software factory hands those jobs to agents too, and what makes it work is context: the instructions, rules and skills that tell each agent how your team does things.In this hands-on workshop you'll build one. You'll use the Tessl agent to work through it step by step. Along the way you'll set up automated code rev
