RebelCon

About

Not a
conference.

A ten-year build-up to now.

RebelCon was born ten years ago from a simple belief: that the people actually building software deserve a room where the conversation is real.

Ten years later, we’ve never had more to talk about.
AI is rewriting what’s possible in software – not theoretically, not eventually, but right now, in the work you’re doing this week. The pace is relentless. The opportunities are genuinely extraordinary. And the community that’s going to shape what this moment becomes? It’s in this room.

This year’s theme is Celebration, because ten years in, at this particular moment in the history of software, there’s something worth marking. Not just what we’ve built. But what we’re finally able to build next.

Programme

Three Acts.

One extraordinary moment.

01
Morning

The Road That Got Us Here

Ten years of showing up, shipping, and learning the hard way. This act isn’t about looking back — it’s about understanding what we’re capable of now because of it.

Keynote + 2 talks + lightning talk

02
Afternoon

What's Now Possible

AI, new tools, new architectures, new ways of working. This isn’t hype; it’s practitioners sharing what’s actually working, what’s changed, and what the next wave of software looks like from the inside.

2–3 talks + panel / roundtable
03
Close

What We Build Next

The practitioners gets the final word. Not predictions, but commitments. What are you going to do differently on Monday? Ten years from now, what will this moment have started?

2 talks + lightning talk + time capsule
