This year @devoxx.uk we asked a simple question: can we use local models as AI code assistants? 🤔 The answer? Yes… and no! But you should check out the recording though and see what worked (like MCP, Skills.MD, and more) as well as what to know about local LLMs for devs :) 🎥 youtu.be/Lhqp7gKXu2w

A massive thank you to our incredible Program Team! You dedicated countless hours to rating, reviewing & debating hundreds of talk submissions to build this year's agenda. Curating a schedule that balances deep technical insights with the latest industry trends is no small feat.

The heart of Devoxx UK isn't just the tech, it's the people. 🧡 Huge shoutout to our 2026 volunteer crew! You dealt with the long hours, the many questions, and the occasional AV gremlin with a smile on your faces. You made the Business Design Centre feel like home for hundreds of developers.
