Second Round of the Into the Box 2026 Agenda Is Live
Into the Box 2026 is shaping up to be our most dynamic event yet! Building on the momentum of our first release, we are thrilled to announce the second round of sessions for this year's conference.
As the ecosystem continues to evolve, teams are balancing the realities of maintaining critical legacy applications while adopting modern tools, architectures, and practices. Into the Box has always been about meeting developers where they are and giving them practical paths to what’s next.
This second release includes:
- 11 brand-new conference sessions added to the main tracks
- A strong focus on cloud security, modern concurrency, real-time web capabilities, BoxLang migration case studies, and AI integrations.
And we aren't done yet more details will be announced in the coming weeks!
