August 26, 2026 · UA Little Rock EIT Auditorium, 2801 S University Ave, Little Rock, Arkansas. Original event program
Education and industry in the same conversation
The published program brought together university strategy, computer science education, experiential learning, and workforce development. Brian Berry and Marla Johnson were among the named contributors, with FlowZone by TruEx serving as the collaboration case study. Original event program
From concept to client
The FlowZone and FZ360 program described AI support across research, UI/UX, architecture, development, marketing, grant writing, pilot design, and sales preparation. It also named the difficult parts: hallucinations, broken code, conflicting outputs, context loss, and inconsistent design. Human validation, expert review, multiple tools, and version control were presented as necessary parts of the process. Original event program
Responsible building, not just faster building
The agenda explicitly addressed privacy, security, scalability, bias, and misinformation. Its central distinction was between making software easier to create and making software secure enough to trust. Original event program
