Speaking at Adobe ColdFusion Summit East 2026

Greetings from Washington, DC! I'm in town for Adobe ColdFusion Summit East 2026. While the conference has "ColdFusion" in the name, most of the sessions (as you might expect) are centered on combining software development with AI and how that has changed the tech landscape.

On Thursday I'm giving a brand-new talk titled "CF and AI, Oh My!" It’s a look at how we can combine ColdFusion development with AI, and some ideas for what it looks like to use both moving forward.

There are two tracks of content, plus a handful of sponsors with booths at the event. The sessions are also a way to earn CPE credits, if you would benefit from such a thing. And it's FREE!

You can register for the conference here.

My agenda for the day is below. Hope to see you there!
