** Please register here Join Sam Barlien as he unpacks the 2025 State of Platform Engineering report: why platform engineering is “eating the world,” how “shifting down” beats “shifting left,” and what a platform engineering-driven AI-native era means for platforms, teams, and the end of the artisan software engineer.

In this webinar, we will cover:

• Data on salary, maturity, best practices and more from 518 platform engineers
• What the best led platform teams are doing in 2026
• How platform engineering is industrializing the software delivery lifecycle

After a 30-minute talk there’ll be a 15-minute Q&A, for which we encourage you to submit questions in advance. A webinar recording and related materials will be shared with all attendees after the event.

Presentation of the brand new State of AI in Platform Engineering industry report drawn from a survey of over 200 platform engineers. Topics include: how the intersection of AI and platform engineering is driving the AI revolution; is “prompt fatigue” the new cognitive overload; and the gap between AI potential and realized value.

Presentation of the brand new State of AI in Platform Engineering industry report, based on a survey of over 200 platform engineers. Sam Barlien will discuss: how AI and platform engineering intersect to drive AI-driven transformation; is 'prompt fatigue' the new cognitive overload; and the disconnect between AI potential and realized value.

Now that the dust has settled on PlatformCon 2025, join Sam Barlien, Head of Ecosystem at Platform Engineering (and NYC Live Day moderator!), as he breaks down the top insights from the world's largest platform engineering event. From over 300 hours of content across 255+ talks, 30 workshops, and 2 full days of Live Day content, discover what's really driving the industry forward and what you need to know for 2025.
