In 2025, developer ecosystems are being transformed by autonomous agents and AI-augmented tooling. This session presents a practical and forward-looking blueprint for how Developer Relations can adapt to this shift. Francesco Andreoli shares updated DevRel frameworks that integrate AI-native workflows while preserving human-centered engagement. Through a technical case study of Builder Nights—a grassroots, shill-free event series that reached over 9 million organic impressions—we’ll explore how to scale communities without compromising authenticity. Attendees will leave with actionable insights on fostering permissionless innovation, designing AI-assisted documentation, and building resilient developer ecosystems in a multichain, AI-driven world.
