On October 14, 2026, IREB and iSAQB will jointly host AIDE#26 – AI Assisted Design & Engineering of Digital Solutions & Systems in Graz, Austria. The full-day event brings together professionals from Requirements Engineering, digital design, software architecture, engineering, and testing to explore how artificial intelligence can create value across the entire development lifecycle.
Many organizations are already using AI in individual parts of their development processes. But accelerating one phase, such as coding, does not necessarily improve the overall process and can even create new bottlenecks elsewhere. AIDE#26 therefore takes a broader perspective: How can AI be used effectively across disciplines and throughout the journey from requirements and design to architecture, engineering, quality assurance, and production?
12 Hours of Learning, Exchange, and Hands-On Experience
Designed as an intensive 12-hour bootcamp, AIDE#26 combines keynotes, expert sessions, a panel discussion, hands-on tutorials, and networking. The program addresses topics ranging from AI in Requirements Engineering and digital design to AI agents, agentic engineering, security, and AI-assisted software architecture.
The goal is to move beyond isolated AI use toward end-to-end AI maturity. Participants will gain practical insights, explore challenges and success factors, and learn how different disciplines can work together to make AI-assisted development more effective.
AIDE#26 is particularly relevant for requirements engineers, software architects, developers, UX and UI professionals, product managers, project leads, QA specialists, and engineering leads who want to understand and apply AI across teams and disciplines.
As a co-located event of Graz Connects, AIDE#26 is also embedded in a broader international community focused on exchange and innovation.
