Agentic Spec‑Driven Development with AWS Kiro

Join us for Build the Right Thing, Build the Thing Right, a hands‑on workshop bringing together builders, product leaders, and technologists to explore agentic spec‑driven development using AWS Kiro. Together, we’ll explore how a concept can be transformed to a working prototype or well‑formed specification.

This event is centered around the Techweek26 ‘Future’ pillar, focusing on emerging technologies and breakthrough innovation, and how new ways of building software can deliver better outcomes for New Zealand organisations and teams.

This workshop is designed for all to gain confidence in what’s possible with modern, AI‑assisted development approaches.
