## Description

The hardest part of the AI transition isn't ‘upgrading’ the software; it is ‘upgrading’ the developer mindset. In complex enterprise ecosystems, getting thousands of programmers comfortable with AI development requires moving past generic chat boxes and embedding intelligence directly into the developer journey
Come to this session to learn how one enterprise company completely rebuilt their learning infrastructure using generative AI to meet developers exactly where they write code. Discover how the developer’s advocacy team connected real-world feedback loops directly to their AI tooling ensuring the ecosystem scaled effectively. 
You will walk away with a practical roadmap for upskilling your own developer base, blending automated education with human community orchestration.
