Hi, I'm Kim. I build dev conferences for a living & I've decided to build a new one. I've spent the past 13 years organising dev events & conferences, most recently Devoxx UK. Between co-running the @virtualJUG & volunteering at several other community events. Our next project 🧵

Sponsor the conversation, not the stage.
At Re:Build, every sponsor hosts a table with the engineers, architects and tech leads they build for. Real feedback, no captive audience.
London, 5 & 6 May 2027.

A few days ago we opened Founding tickets for @ReBuild_Con. Tickets are going, sponsors are signing and community groups are getting involved. For a first-year event, that trust means a lot. Thank you.

Have you signed up for the @elastic_london meetup on Thursday Oct 15th? I'm looking forward to learning about this fuzzy search migration story, and diving into @JinaAI_ models from one of our amazing @elastic ML engineers.
Sign up link in 🧵.
See you there!
There's still time to signup for our @elastic London meetup this Thursday (Oct 15th). We'll have 🍕 and interesting talks on fuzzy search migration from PostgreSQL to #elasticsearch and a dive into @jina ocr, embedding and reranker models.

Tickets for Re:Build are open. Two days in London, 5 & 6 May 2027, for people who build software and aren’t sure what that means anymore. Nothing recorded. You’ll have to be there. rebuildcon.uk

We talk a lot about what AI can build. Less about what it means for the people building it. At Re:Build, bring your questions & leave with practical insights, clarity on what comes next & connections that last.
Let's work it out together.

AI isn't the whole story.
Re:Build explores three threads:
→ What we build (the tech)
→ How we build it (the way we work)
→ Who we become (the human bit)

Some things don't need another conference talk. They need a conversation. At Re:Build we're trying something called The Conversation. It's our take on the World Café, built for a room of 300. Each one starts with a short talk to frame a question that doesn't... 1/3

We've just launched rebuildcon.uk, so have a look around. And if there's a question you think we should be asking, we'd love to hear it.

- How do we keep learning when the ground keeps moving?
- What do we want tech to do for us & what do we want to keep doing?
We don't have the answers. We think we'll work them out better together, which is why we're building Re:Build, a 2day conference in London on 5 & 6 May.

We've been thinking a lot about questions lately. Not the ones with a neat answer. The ones where you find yourself saying "Hmm I'm not sure…"
- What happens to our roles when AI can do more of the work?
- What does being a great engineer look like when the tools keep changing?

We're Re:Build, a new 2day conference for the people behind the code, not just the code. The future hasn't compiled yet. Come help build it.
What to expect:
- Shorter talks
- The Conversation, our new participatory format
- More space to talk about craft

Thanks to @DevITjobs for adding @ReBuild_Con to ur UK Tech Event Calendar 🙌
This team has backed my conferences for years & they've always been genuinely lovely to work with. (I'm still using the laptop camera cover from years ago, so the swag clearly holds up too.)

Introducing @dhardiker co-founder of @ReBuild_Con. You might know Dan as a Fractional CTO & Coach at Atlas Advantage, helping Atlassian Partners thrive rather than survive through all of today’s challenges; or from his work with Devoxx events & CERN’s STEM outreach at festivals.

He’s an engineer who’s as comfortable coaching & advising as he is building, which is exactly the mix you need when you’re building a conference from scratch. We’ve been figuring out Re:Build together & Dan’s the one who turns "what if" into a plan:

that’s largely because he keeps us moving. He's also one of the people behind 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏, a new format we're bringing to the event.

No longer a secret!!!
The amazing @dDoutsiopoulos is celebrating his birthday today, and he launched a YouTube channel with the stories he gathered around the world.
You'll see some familiar faces :)
Go give him a follow!
