Dear JAX London speakers, friends and everyone interested!

Our Call for Papers for JAX London 2026 is well underway, and we are looking forward to your submissions.

AI is no longer just a tooling topic. It is becoming part of real enterprise systems — and that changes the conversation.

From our perspective, the decisive success factor for AI in enterprise environments is not the model itself. It is engineering discipline:

• Clear architecture
• Explicit non-functional requirements
• Structured testing and validation
• Security by design
• Traceability and observability
• Governance and ownership
• Long-term operational thinking

AI amplifies whatever system it enters. In well-structured systems, it increases leverage. In poorly structured systems, it accelerates instability.

For JAX London 2026, this means we are particularly interested in sessions that address:

• Enterprise architecture in the age of AI
• Real-world AI integration in production systems
• Non-functional requirements and trade-offs
• Testing and verification strategies
• Operational and governance models
• Technology-agnostic engineering principles that scale

We continue to welcome deep technical content. However, we are especially keen on experience-based contributions that demonstrate how robust systems are built and evolved under real-world constraints.

If you have lessons learned from integrating AI into enterprise software — or from strengthening engineering foundations to make AI viable — we would love to hear from you. Please send us your proposals by 13th April 2026.

Best,
The JAX London Team
