But first, we’ve pulled together our top 5 SaaSmas videos and added them to our new KiwiSaaS Resource Library — so you can catch up (or rewatch) anytime.

This year, we’re focused on helping you navigate what’s next. Our first two are about the future of software engineering and cracking the US market. And that’s just the start, we’ve got plenty more workshops to announce as the 2026 calendar lands.



🤖 The Future of Agentic Web Development
