ShipItCon 2026

In the relentless drive to ship faster and scale larger, we inevitably encounter resistance. The increasing complexity of modern architectures, the growing demands for security, and the limits of human cognitive load create a landscape defined by opposing forces. In software delivery, this "friction" can be the bureaucratic drag that stalls our pipelines and frustrates our teams—but it is also the vital traction, intentional guardrails, and necessary processes that keep our systems safe. ShipItCon 2026 will delve into this delicate balance, exploring how we identify, eliminate, and sometimes harness friction in our engineering and organizational practices. Through insightful talks covering a spectrum of topics, from smoothing the developer experience to navigating the human side of technological resistance, we invite you to join us for a day of thought-provoking discussions and inspiring conversations.
