49 |For too long, product teams have accepted the handoff between design and development as a necessary step. But every handoff introduces translation, and with it comes compromise, delay, and diluted intent. What if designers could fully own the path from idea to implementation? This talk explores what a future without design-to-development handoffs could look like. By empowering designers to directly implement their own work, teams can aspire to faster iteration cycles, stronger creative ownership, and products that more faithfully reflect their original vision. This is not just a workflow improvement, it's a call to rethink how great digital products get made.

42 |45 | Main Hall, 46 | Monday 17 November 47 | 15:45 - 16:20 48 |
49 |Our design system, DRUIDS, serves as the foundational layer for Datadog's 20+ products. While highly adopted, this popularity leads to the misconception that every shared UI component belongs to DRUIDS. The reality is a multi-layered approach: product teams build higher-level "kits" that enrich DRUIDS components in product-specific ways. This talk will explore how this technical setup operates in both design tools and codebase, its benefits, and the challenges of guiding designers and engineers in this nuanced ecosystem. We will demonstrate how a multi-layered design system enables organic platform scaling while maintaining a consistent user experience.

49 |When we think about JavaScript and Node.js, it's not often most of us are required to consider memory management and allocation. In this talk, we'll jump right into the landfill and get a little dirty as we try to understand how Node.js manages memory with Google's V8 runtime engine. What types of garbage collection are there, and how and when are they used? We'll also explore some of the issues that mismanaged memory can cause, and how they were eventually solved using examples from Node.js and its consumers and embedders like Electron. Memory management is closer to the surface than you might think, so we'll also discuss how to see and create memory issues right from JavaScript. You'll leave with a deeper understanding of the mechanics underlying the web's most ubiquitous language, as well as tips to avoid pitfalls you might not even realize exist!

49 |The web is entering a transformative era shaped by artificial intelligence, redefining both how we build and how we experience it. AI is altering the cognitive landscape of knowledge work, affecting users' critical thinking, memory, creativity, and metacognition. In programming, we now have “vibe coding,” where the boundaries between prototyping and production blur, as do traditional roles such as designer, engineer, and product manager. This fluidity may enable teams to collaborate across expertise like never before. At the same time, we are designing not only for humans but for AI agents: autonomous intermediaries that can bypass many traditional UX constraints. This raises a serious question: If agents can dynamically adapt interfaces and solve interaction problems on the fly, why would anyone visit a website or use an app directly? The answer lies in vision. Future web services must deliver experiences that cannot be intermediated; core experiential primitives that take inspiration from games, music, or film. In this keynote, I argue that the defining skill for the next generation of web creators is not technical execution but artistic foresight: the ability to imagine what users cannot yet conceive.

67 |Fix the number one accessibility issue on the web, and make your UI look better doing it. Low contrast and sloppy color choices quietly tank readability, conversions, and trust. This workshop cuts the jargon and shows you how to design and ship accessible color and contrast with confidence. You'll learn to build beautiful, compliant palettes that scale across components and states; use typography and layout to boost contrast beyond color alone; and turn standards into practical checks your team can actually follow—plus the tools and workflow to test, iterate, and ship fast.

67 |Animation can delight your users, give attention to important information and help users to better understand tasks. Finding the balance between too little and too much animation and making your animations suitable to your project is a difficult task. Creating a motion language can help with this. In this workshop I'll teach you techniques to create, and implement a cohesive motion language for your projects with code. We'll look at shapes, direction, durations and ease. Focussing on loading-, interaction-, scroll- and page animations.

49 |While AI tools revolutionize rapid prototyping in product development, they haven't yet solved the fundamental infrastructure challenges of production systems. This talk examines two critical areas where traditional engineering investment remains essential: sophisticated user behavior analytics and complex feature management systems. We'll explore why measuring user behavior beyond basic metrics requires custom infrastructure to answer nuanced business questions, and how feature flipper systems must handle intricate combinations of internal and external factors. Through practical examples, we'll demonstrate how to build these essential infrastructures cost-effectively at both early-stage and scale, enabling teams to maintain agility while growing their analytical capabilities. Product teams will learn why these infrastructure investments remain necessary despite AI advances, and how to balance AI-driven innovation with lean, scalable system architecture.
