15 new sessions join the Techorama Netherlands 2026 agenda
We already had a strong agenda for Techorama Netherlands 2026. But technology does not wait politely between June and October.
That is why we ran an extra CfP: to make room for the topics moving fastest right now, while they are still fresh. The result is 15 new sessions across AI, .NET, developer tools, CSS and data.
If you checked the agenda earlier, this is a good reason to take another look. If you were still deciding whether Techorama belongs on your calendar this year, these additions may be the push you needed.
From building your own coding assistant to rethinking how we work with existing codebases, the new sessions add even more practical depth to the programme. There is a strong focus on AI in everyday development, alongside the technologies and engineering decisions that continue to shape the applications we build.
Here is what we are adding to the programme.
AI and the way we build software
Coding assistants are changing developer workflows, and this selection brings together several angles on that change: working more efficiently with Copilot, applying AI to legacy code, building your own assistant, and learning what is easy, hard and unexpected when AI becomes part of delivery.
- Tokenomics: Writing Better Code with Fewer Tokens in GitHub Copilot - Jon Galloway
- Reviving a Legacy Codebase with AI - Mark Heath
- Let's build our own Claude Code - Max Gfeller
- Developer Workflows in AI Age: Local or Cloud? - Sam Basu
- Building an Application with Copilot and Lovable: The Easy, the Hard, and the Unexpected - Juliana Smith
A closer look at agents and automation
Agents are moving quickly from demo material to real engineering decisions. These sessions help you think through production safety, observability, automation and the protocols shaping the next wave of software.
- Dark Factories - From Science Fiction to Production - Andreas Wänqvist
- Inside the Agent Loop: build a .NET Flight Recorder for Github Copilot, Cursor and Claude - Christophe Nasarre
- Your AI Agent Needs a Kill Switch: Engineering Agents for Production - Luca Berton
- Model Context Protocol (MCP) version 2 - Rockford Lhotka
More .NET, CSS, and data
AI may be moving fast, but the rest of the development stack is not standing still either. These sessions add more to bring home: .NET's next steps, interoperability, modern CSS, data access and Fabric cost control.
- What's New In .NET 11 - Jon Galloway
- Interoperability of .NET - Sam Basu
- Do It With Style: Rethinking CSS - Dylan Beattie
- Out with Entity Framework, In with Copilot - Robert Hartskeerl
- Fabric FinOps - Cost Optimization for Fabric - Alexander Arvidsson
And for a broader look at where all these changes leave us as developers, Dylan Beattie joins the programme with OK, Code Is Worthless... Now What?. A provocative title, and plenty of food for thought as AI becomes part of the development process.
One more reason to take another look
Thank you to everyone who submitted a proposal through the extra Call for Papers, and congratulations to the selected speakers. The agenda is now more current, more varied and even more useful for the work developers are doing right now.
If you already had Techorama Netherlands 2026 on your shortlist, these new sessions make the choice stronger. If you were waiting to see how the programme would develop, this is the moment to revisit the agenda and start planning your days in Utrecht.
