Software Engineering Events in Prague

Hosted by Sky Czech Republic.

Doors are open from 5:30 pm, talks will start at 6:00 pm.

1. Marek Svitok (Sky) - Go Interfaces Under the Hood: Why nil Isn’t Always nil

Go interfaces are one of the language's most powerful features, but also a source of many subtle bugs and design questions.
In this talk, we will explore why Go encourages returning concrete types instead of interfaces, what problem tools like ireturn are trying to prevent, and why an interface containing a nil value is not necessarily equal to nil.
We will look under the hood at interface values, understand the relationship between types, values, and method sets, and see how the compiler decides whether a type implements an interface.
The talk will also explain the difference between value and pointer receivers, why T and *T behave differently, and how these details shape idiomatic Go API design.

2. Ladislav Prskavec (Everpure) - What is new in Go 1.27

Go 1.27 is a release where the parts that matter most are not the language features. We will start with the three changes most likely to reach a service already in production: go test now runs the stdversion vet check by default, encoding/json/v2 graduated from experiment so the classic encoding/json runs on the new implementation with nothing to import, and two quieter behaviour changes — time channels are now always unbuffered, and http.Response.Body drains itself on close.
Then the parts worth adopting deliberately: uuid in the standard library, the goroutineleak profile graduating alongside goroutine labels that now appear in crash dumps and SIGQUIT tracebacks, httptest.NewTestServer running without real TCP ports, and the new go fix modernizers for mechanical migrations. Performance comes last — size-specialized allocation makes small allocations up to 30% faster, worth roughly 1% overall and 60 KB of extra binary — followed by the language changes themselves: generic methods, promoted-field selectors in struct literals, and wider function type inference.

By attending the event I agree that photographs and video recordings from this event may be used by Sky Czech Republic for employer branding and promotional purposes across company websites, career pages, social media, third-party profiles, and other communication materials.

Building AI into real products, not demos. Three perspectives on one question: how do we build products when everyone can build?

For teams building AI into real products, not just showing it off in a demo. Living through half-adopted features, skeptical or overly enthusiastic stakeholders, and managers rethinking their whole job. We will tell you about chasing signals your dashboards miss, rebuilding trust when it breaks, and leading teams that need to self-organize faster than org chart can keep up.

The MCP usage dashboard can't see the moment your feature actually wins. MCP adoption looked quiet in Wrike's own data - until we talked to builders, combined it with what we could measure, and deconstructed their stories. This is a talk about what to do when your product's success moves somewhere you can't see: how we went looking for it, what signals we learned to spot, and what gaps we found along the way.

Between the stakeholder who thinks AI is a chatbot that helps with presentations and the one who thinks it'll replace the team tomorrow, someone has to ship. For an established product, trust is a budget you spend, which makes correction and recovery the real design work. I'll walk you through our two years of building, what I got wrong on the way, and the problems still unsolved.

AI is changing not only how engineers build, but also how engineering organizations need to be led. As organizations become flatter, managers lead more teams while teams take greater ownership and self-organize. This talk explores how the role of the engineering leader shifts from managing execution to creating the conditions for people and teams to make better decisions, develop the right skills, and multiply their impact.

Product managers, builders, engineers, designers, and engineering leaders building with AI in real products, especially anyone past the demo stage and into the messy part.

Can AI agents be governed? Join DAMA Czech Republic, VŠE FIS & Collibra for a day on trusted, agentic AI.

DAMA Day Prague 2026, the 3rd installment following two years of success, will focus on the next frontier in data management: governing not just data, but the AI agents that act on it.

Following the success of the first two DAMA Day Prague events, the 2026 edition returns to close out a two-year story, from governing data for AI, to governing AI agents themselves. And of course, the Pay-if-you-Pass CDMP Exam is back, open for any certification level!!

This year's theme, "From Trusted Data to Trusted Agents," tackles the question data professionals can no longer avoid: once autonomous agents start reading, writing, and remediating data on their own, who's accountable when it goes right OR wrong? By bringing together practitioners, vendors, and academics for a day built around real debate rather than product pitches, DAMA Day Prague 2026 will provide both strategic insight and practical takeaways for organizations navigating agentic AI in their data operations.

This year we're proud to have Collibra on board as Gold Partner, and to run our academic track once again with VŠE's Faculty of Informatics and Statistics (FIS), featuring a bridging keynote and a student poster session.

FREE for all DAMA members. Registration fee for non-members: 3,500 CZK, including coffee breaks and lunch.

You can also become a DAMA Czech Republic member for 1,500 CZK and get FREE access to this and other events and resources, making it a cost-effective investment in your professional development.

More information about membership can be found on our webpage here.

How do you actually drive product growth?

This time at ProductTank Prague, we're bringing together product and growth leaders from different companies and industries to share real stories of user acquisition, activation, and monetization. Expect honest stories about experiments that worked, experiments that didn't, and what they learned. User acquisition up to revenue, self-service strategies, product-led growth to product-led sales.

The common thread? Growth doesn't happen in a silo. Product, marketing, and sales all influence the same customer journey — and understanding those connections is becoming an increasingly important part of building products.

Dobrý život v mezích planety. Jak je na tom Česko? A co z toho vyplývá pro firmy a veřejné organizace?

Inovační a designérské studio Pábení vás v rámci Global Donut Days zve na neformální setkání u piva a koblihy, na kterém poprvé představíme novou podobu Kompasu udržitelného Česka.

Pojďme společně strávit příjemný večer plný inspirace a nových setkání.

Doughnut Economics je rámec, který mění výchozí otázku plánování. Místo „o kolik chceme vyrůst?" se ptá „čeho chceme dosáhnout a v jakých hranicích?" Cílem není růst sám, ale dobrý život všech lidí v mezích planety. Vše ostatní, včetně ekonomiky, je k tomu prostředek.

Autorkou modelu je ekonomka Kate Raworth. Města jako Amsterdam nebo Brusel podle něj plánují svůj rozvoj, pracují s ním regiony i státy a firmám a organizacím slouží jako základ strategického směřování. Pomáhá jim rozhodovat, do čeho investovat a čemu se naopak vyhnout.

V Pábení jsme ho před třemi lety převedli do českého kontextu jako Kompas udržitelného Česka. Letos jsme ho od základu přepracovali a na Pivo & Kobliha ho uvidíte poprvé v novém vydání.

Ze setkání si odnesete konkrétní představu, jak kompas použít ve své práci. Ukážeme, jak podle něj firmy vybírají, kterým směrem rozvíjet své služby a produkty, a jak veřejná správa využívá jeho oblasti jako osnovu pro strategie a koncepce.

K tomu přehled o tom, jak si Česko stojí ve 22 oblastech od bydlení a zdraví po vodu a emise, brožuru s celým Kompasem 2026 a kontakty na lidi, kteří se zabývají podobnými otázkami jako vy.

Pro lidi ve firmách, kteří mají na starosti udržitelnost, strategii nebo rozvoj a hledají rámec, který jim pomůže rozhodnout, kam směřovat dál.

Pro pracovníky ministerstev, krajů a měst, kteří připravují strategie, koncepce a rozvojové plány a potřebují srozumitelně pojmenovat, co je vlastně cílem.

Pro lidi z neziskových organizací, kteří pracují se sociálními nebo environmentálními tématy a chtějí je zasadit do širšího celku.

Pro výzkumníky, novináře a všechny, které zajímá, jak se dá stav země popsat jinak než hrubým domácím produktem.

Omezená kapacita 40 osob.

Těšíme se na vás!
