The Autonomous Enterprise: SAP Business AI, n8n & Agents
A talk and open Q&A at the inaugural Avanai Round Table, on building agentic workflows with n8n in SAP Joule Studio. Topics included how organisations use n8n for SAP automation today, integration patterns connecting SAP to external systems and APIs, governance and security for low-code automation in SAP environments, migrating from SAP's native tooling, and what the SAP–n8n partnership and Joule Studio rollout actually mean in practice. Hosted by Sascha Seegebarth (Avanai), joined by Devashish Jasani (Director of Product Strategy & Partnerships, SAP).

AI in Practice: How We're Actually Using It
An in-person evening event on what AI looks like in production rather than in the discourse, covering what n8n has learned actually using AI day to day — the short version being that there is no silver bullet and no one-size-fits-all. Joined by Luke Priest (AI Platform Lead, Funding Circle) on the AI infrastructure behind lending at scale, Iaroslav Polianskii (Lead AI/ML Engineer, Tunic Pay) on catching fraud in real time, and Elham Khani (Engineering Manager, NewDay) on deploying AI inside one of the UK's biggest consumer credit businesses.

Trusted Orchestration: Where the n8n Enterprise Roadmap Is Heading
n8n Enterprise Event June 30, 2026 London, UK
A talk at the n8n enterprise customer event in London, hosted by Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, setting out where the n8n enterprise roadmap is heading. The central argument: as AI agents get more capable, the instinct is to loosen the reins, but more autonomy requires more control, not less. The enterprise conversation has moved past "can we build it?" to "can we run it safely, govern it, measure the value and trust it?" — the future of enterprise AI won't just be autonomous agents, it'll be trusted orchestration. Opened by Michael McCann on agentic orchestration, with a real-world spotlight from Claire Van Hinsbergh and Ardit Braha (Vodafone).

From Engineering Leader to Business Partner: How to Influence Beyond Your Function
LDX3 London by LeadDev June 2, 2026 InterContinental London – The O2, London, UK
A DirectorPlus roundtable at LDX3 London, facilitated three times across the festival, on how senior engineering leaders build the credibility, language and relationships needed to influence decisions at executive and board level. As engineering becomes more central to commercial strategy, leaders are expected to operate well beyond their function — shaping priorities, managing up, and making the case for investment in business terms. Discussion covered communicating engineering priorities as business outcomes and commercial risk, building working relationships with CEOs, CFOs and executive peers, and preparing for board-level conversations about technology investment.

An Engineering Manager's First 90 Days
An interview with Ryan Murphy for the EM Accelerator expert interview library, on what the first 90 days of an engineering management role actually demand — why new managers are hired for their judgement and then spend three months earning the right to use it, why strong engineering skills don't automatically transfer, and the common pitfalls first-time managers fall into.

How to Rethink Software Releases in the Age of AI
A panel on why AI has transformed the act of coding while release processes have stayed put. Code output is scaling faster than delivery capacity, yet teams are keeping the same deployment and review patterns — 57% still use human-in-the-loop review for every line of AI-generated code, and only 49% have modernised guardrails in place. Drawing on LeadDev's State of AI-Driven Software Releases report, produced with Harness. Joined by Aaron Newcomb (Senior Product Marketing Manager, Harness), moderated by Scott Carey (Editor in Chief, LeadDev). Co-hosted with Harness.
