Schedule
Looking Forward
Zeno kicks off Resend Forward and sets the tone for the day: a celebration of the people who care deeply about their craft and the software they ship.
What’s next for Resend
The newest products and features from Resend.
Caring in the Age of AI
Innovation in AI is making it easier than ever to ship, fast. Those who make a difference will be those who care.
Healthy culture accelerates product
Cristina Cordova, COO of Linear, sits down with Jonni Lundy, COO of Resend, for a conversation about building companies and the culture that makes great products possible.
Snack break
A break to recharge and connect with other builders.
The new creative advantage
AI has changed the speed of creative production. But when everyone can make something “good enough”, the advantage shifts from producing to deciding. A talk about taste, judgment, and building teams that can sustain real craft at scale.
Primitives are your product
Users don't want your product. They want the problem it solves to go away. A talk about primitives, how to craft yours, and why they're the foundation of good software.
Lunch
Take a break and enjoy lunch with fellow attendees.
Eulogy for the software engineer
Somebody should say a few words. This profession has been lamenting in fragments for two years with a headstone that turns out to have the wrong name on it. Come mourn; leave with a renewed job description and a reason to keep handing what you know to somebody else.
Attention Is All You Have
How should teams of people work with teams of agents? And how do we, as builders, make it easier rather than harder?
Shipping in the age of agents
Guillermo Rauch, CEO of Vercel, joins Zeno Rocha for a fireside chat on how AI agents are changing what developer experience means, why speed of iteration matters more than ever, and what stays constant: craft, taste, and reliability.
Afternoon snack break
A break to recharge before the afternoon sessions.
New Ways of Seeing
We often think of tools as things we create to extend our abilities. But the relationship goes both ways. The software we build changes how we move, perceive, remember, communicate, and think. Over time, it can reshape us too.
Built for agents: patterns from the teams getting it right
AI agents are now the power users of tools, yet most products are still failing them. From evaluating hundreds of devtools, we share the patterns that set the most agent-ready teams apart.
Hardware for the rest of us: Building physical things with AI
Before AI, many of us didn't have the skills to build physical devices. Kath will share how to use AI to build personal hardware.
Where do we go from here?
Closing thoughts to wrap up Resend Forward.
After-party
Wind down with snacks, music, and fellow builders.
