Connections returns to Las Vegas at the Fontainebleau from October 27-30, 2025, with the theme of Insurance Intelligence. For developers, that means a deep dive into the practical applications of AI, new techniques for building extensions, effective automation strategies, and dedicated discussions on improving the developer experience with our products and community.
To help you make the most of your time, we’ve created a developer’s guide to the event. Think of it as your roadmap to the key sessions in the developer track, expert-led discussion groups, and networking events you won’t want to miss.
Your Roadmap to the Developer Track
Get straight to the most relevant content with the curated Developer Track. This is your roadmap to practical sessions on self-service tooling, integration flexibility, and strategies for reducing tech debt. You'll leave with best practices you can apply directly to your work on the Guidewire platform.
To help you navigate the agenda, we’ve put together a quick guide to the sessions that will deliver immediate value:
