Built for developers,

Submissions open May 20 at Slack Dev Day and close July 13, with winners announced August 11.
Agenda
at-a-glance
10:00 AM PT — Keynote
The AI race has already moved past "who has the best model." The real question is where agents live — and whether people actually use them. We'll share the craft principles that separate adopted agents from abandoned ones and why Slack is where the future is being built.
11:00 AM PT — Product Leader Panel
Slack product leaders share a candid conversation about the APIs, primitives, and tooling on the roadmap — what's coming, why it's coming, and how it directly shapes what you'll ship. Bring your questions.
