The 13th edition of Devoxx Morocco kicked off in Casablanca, gathering national and international experts around emerging technologies. This year's event puts agent AI and its impact on the future of software development at the center of discussions. Organized on November 4 and 5, Devoxx Morocco brings together developers, engineers, and new technology specialists to discuss major changes in the sector. The program includes topics such as artificial intelligence, Cloud, cybersecurity, and new software engineering practices.
One of the main topics addressed at the conference is the rise of agent AI and its consequences for development careers. As these technologies take an increasingly prominent place in software design processes, professionals are questioning the evolution of their skills and responsibilities. According to Badr El Houari, co-founder of Devoxx Morocco, the growth of artificial intelligence does not necessarily mean the disappearance of the developer profession. Instead, it could lead to a transformation of their roles, with greater emphasis on system architecture, cybersecurity, and performance optimization.
In this perspective, technical skills should be more closely tied to human discernment, mastery of complex systems, and responsibility in the design of digital solutions. Beyond technological developments, the event also aims to contribute to the upskilling of Moroccan professionals. Abdelfetah Sghiouar, Senior Cloud Developer Advocate, highlights the importance of these meetings, which allow local developers to exchange directly with international specialists and familiarize themselves with the latest sector practices.
The conference, designed by developers for developers, prioritizes an approach based on experience sharing, collective learning, and professional network development. This edition features sessions on designing reliable programming interfaces (APIs), orchestrating large language models (LLMs), and the conditions for secure large-scale deployment of artificial intelligence. The discussions also cover the prospects of the technological job market, new software development methods, and the applications of digital autonomy in mobile games.
Through this program, Devoxx Morocco aims to strengthen bridges between the Moroccan developer community and international technological ecosystems. This issue goes beyond mere knowledge sharing, as the rise of artificial intelligence accelerates the transformation of skills sought in the digital industry. The event provides a platform for professionals to discuss the implications of agent AI on their careers and the future of software development.
The growth of agent AI is expected to change the skills required in the digital industry, with a greater emphasis on human skills and complex system management. Devoxx Morocco provides an opportunity for professionals to stay updated on the latest trends and technologies in the sector. The event also aims to promote the development of professional networks and the exchange of experiences between local and international specialists.
The 13th edition of Devoxx Morocco is taking place at a time when the Moroccan digital sector is experiencing significant growth, driven by the increasing adoption of emerging technologies. The event is expected to contribute to the development of the sector by promoting the exchange of knowledge and experiences between professionals.
