Join us at the Billy Frank Jr. Conference Center at Ecotrust.

Learn from Tech YouTuber Jack Herrington, who will talk about the impact of AI on full stack architectures. Any developer has felt the sea change that AI has had on coding. But new AI-oriented protocols like MCP, A2A and ACP are shifting the architecture of the full stack applications we build. And opening up new market opportunities in the process. You’ll come away from this talk having actionable insights into how to architect around these new technologies to build companies that offer cutting edge AI features and integrations for their customers. This could be the start of a Web 4.0 revolution, let’s make sure that you are prepared.

This event is part of The Open Source Fellowship, offering an in-depth look at the shifting role of full-stack developers in the age of AI, open-source collaboration, and workforce innovation. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how full-stack skills are still relevant, if not essential in building adaptable, human-centered technologies. This community program is organized by NTEN & Fuse Change.
