SUMMARY:Software Futures Forum 2026
DESCRIPTION:Learn more and register. Software development is rapidly changing as artificial intelligence upends how code gets specified\, written\, reviewed\, and shipped. As the industry currently stands\, no one yet knows which skills will become more valuable\, which will fall away\, or what any of it means for the young talent entering the field.During the inaugural Software Futures Forum on December 8\, 2026\, we'll begin to address three of today's biggest questions: What does software development actually look like in the AI age? What are universities teaching young talent\, and what else do they need to build into curricula? And how can industry partner with academia to help keep top talent within the state? During SFF 2026\, you'll hear from a variety of perspectives across leading tech companies\, Wisconsin practitioners\, and university researchers during talks\, panels\, and breakout sessions. You'll also hear about upcoming opportunities to join as founding partners of BadgerPath\, a new initiative to identify\, prepare\, and launch Wisconsin's next generation of computer scientists.
