Hey Makers
The full Waves '26 agenda is live, and we’re pretty excited about this one.
Three stages, twelve sessions, and one question running through all of it: What does it actually take to move AI and automation from demo to production
Here’s a taste of what’s waiting for you in Prague on 20 October:
Agent Architecture 101 – the patterns that separate demos from real systems, with Diederik Martens and Benjamin Potet
Make + OpenAI: From Pilot to Production – a multi-agent system built live, then broken on purpose, with Tilman Resch and Sonja Alushi
ElevenLabs + Make: How Stellantis & You Deployed Voice AI at Scale – how Stellantis deployed 25,000 calls a month with ElevenLabs and Make, with Kate Kawa, David Male, Conor Power and Alex Hinkle
Trust, but Verify – the governance playbook for AI automation you can actually trust, with Jeff Arnold
Things You’ve Got Wrong About Scaling AI – the fight that comes after “we believe in AI,” with Luis Alexander Dölle
The Automation Was Perfect. The Humans Were Not – what broke in production, and the audit you can run on your own, with Madelaine Swift
And that’s just a slice of it. Twelve sessions across three stages, plus hands-on experiences, expert 1-on-1s and a whole lot of builders to swap notes with.
