This year’s program has been significantly restructured not only to address individual technical topics but also to convey the reality of our company-wide AI shift. It includes practical processes such as AI-driven infrastructure operations and 'AX (AI Transformation)' initiatives to boost engineer productivity—content packed with real-world challenges.
