About
The Industry Track at FORGE 2026 will feature invited talks from leading practitioners and innovators at the forefront of AI-driven software engineering. This year we will highlight real-world applications and experiences in leveraging foundation models to transform software development practices—spanning topics such as AI-assisted coding, automated testing, large-scale developer tools, and industrial deployments of LLM-based systems. Unlike previous years, the 2026 Industry Track will be invited talks only, providing a focused platform for in-depth discussions and knowledge sharing between industry leaders and the research community.
More information, including the list of invited speakers and session details, will be made available soon. Stay tuned for updates!
