QonfX is our leadership-focused, invite-only conference that brings together Engineering, Quality, Product, and AI leaders under one roof to discuss the future of software quality and how AI is reshaping how organizations build, test, and lead. Designed for focused conversations and highvalue connections, not routine networking.

Hosted across key cities in the US, UK, Europe, and Asia, QonfX brings together the region’s most influential leaders who are shaping the next decade of software quality and engineering

The AI Testing Maturity Trap: What Two Real Rollouts Taught Me

“AI has unlocked real possibilities across functional and non-functional test automation from intelligent test generation to self-healing suites to AI-assisted performance and security testing. The second edition of Full Stack Testing maps this landscape as a practical, beginner-friendly guide. But knowing what’s possible and knowing where your organization actually stands are different problems and that gap is where most AI testing initiatives quietly stall.

This talk bridges the two. Drawing on two real client engagements from my work as an independent technology consultant, I’ll unpack what a practical AI testing maturity curve looks like the capabilities available at each stage, what each stage actually demands of an organization, and the missteps that stalled the rollout. You’ll leave with a simple framework to assess where your team sits today and what the next stage truly requires.”

Managing AI Agents Like People: Autonomy, Feedback, and Trust
This talk explores why AI agents create a leadership challenge, not just a tooling challenge. Ugo will show how familiar management disciplines – clear outcomes, scoped autonomy, feedback loops, guardrails, review, and accountability – apply when agents become part of the SDLC. The session gives engineering and quality leaders a practical way to adopt AI agents without losing judgement, quality, or ownership.

Quality Engineering for Probabilistic Software

“We spent 30 years perfecting quality engineering for deterministic software. Now AI has changed the rules. My premise is that LLM evals aren’t a completely new discipline, they’re the natural evolution of quality engineering, where confidence comes from statistical evidence, continuous evaluation, and engineering systems that learn rather than simply pass or fail.

The talk explores how familiar quality engineering concepts such as regression testing, coverage, release gates, observability, and production monitoring map to modern evaluation practices for AI-powered systems. Rather than focusing on a particular framework or tool, it provides a practical engineering mindset for building confidence in probabilistic software, highlighting both the lessons we can carry forward from traditional QE and the new challenges that emerge when software is no longer deterministic.
