**Details** Your agent doesn't know your team's conventions, your internal tools, or your deployment rules. Let's fix that. Modern coding agents support plugins — versioned bundles of *skills* (reusable instructions the agent invokes automatically) and *MCP servers* (connectors that give the agent real tools: databases, APIs, ticket systems, browsers). Most people never build one. They're easier

Teams work on site along three technology tracks — quantum computing, quantum sensing and quantum communication. Companies, SMEs and research groups can enter a real problem as a "Challenge Owner" and develop it with an interdisciplinary team from first idea into a worked-out concept, with applications closing 31 August. It is the in-person culmination of the FFG's Quantum Reality Check series,, and the programme is held in German.

LSZ takes its CIO Kongress west for two days at the Löwen Hotel Montafon, under the 2027 motto "CO-INTELLIGENCE — Mensch. Maschine. Momentum." The billing is deliberately regional: IT and digitalisation leaders from western Austria and the Bodensee region — CIOs, CDOs, CTOs, CEOs and security leads — in a setting the organisers describe as a strategic change of scene rather than another event. LSZ advertises 20+ workshops and 30+ speakers working through the split between legacy estates, cyber-resilience and agentic AI, alongside digital sovereignty and the leadership of hybrid human-and-agent teams, with real case studies instead of glossy slides. Tickets are EUR 999.
