Join fellow engineers for a practical panel on taking software, AI, and robotics from promising demos to reliable deployments.

The demo worked. What happens when it meets the real world?

Unreliable connectivity, changing environments, unexpected inputs, and integration challenges can turn a promising project into a difficult deployment.

Join Rivers Agile for the next edition of The Current, our meetup series for technical professionals. This panel brings together practitioners to discuss what it takes to make software, AI, and robotics work reliably in the field.

We’ll explore:

  • What teams often overlook between a successful demo and deployment.
  • How testing and validation can uncover problems earlier.
  • What happens when computer vision and edge AI encounter real-world conditions.
  • How teams prepare for failures, troubleshoot issues, and apply lessons from the field.

Expect a moderated conversation, practical examples, audience Q&A, and time to connect with other people building and deploying technology.

Whether you’re early in your engineering career or have deployments behind you, bring your questions and experiences.
