What you will hear

Panel: Legacy migration in practice
A panel of practitioners at different stages of their migration journey. Hear about what pushed them to act, how they approached decisions under pressure, what they got wrong and what they'd do differently. Questions are tailored to where each speaker is in the process, so the conversation covers the full picture, from those just getting started to those already on the other side.

Customer story: One integration modernization journey
A first-hand account from a Swedish company that has gone through the process. What the starting point looked like, what the work involved and what the results are today, grounded in practical tips and data. 

MCP and AI in enterprise integration
Frends' CTO Asmo Urpilainen presents MCP technologies and what they mean for integration teams. You'll learn about real use cases, what is being developed and organizations can expect from the Frends AI roadmap — relevant whether your team is actively exploring AI-powered automation or still working out what questions to ask.
