From AI to Cybersecurity: Celebrating 20 Years of Conscensia

How do you celebrate 20 years of partnerships, people and software development? At Conscensia, we decided to look ahead rather than back.

On 22 October 2026, we welcomed customers, colleagues and industry experts to Warsaw for our AI & Cybersecurity in Practice Conference – a day dedicated to exploring some of the most important developments shaping our industry.

With more than 40 client participants and Conscensia colleagues joining in Warsaw and online from our Lviv Hub, the conference brought together people from across our international community.

Let’s enjoy a short highlight of our celebration, showing presentations, networking and the celebrations in Warsaw and Lviv.

AI, cybersecurity and the future of software development

AI is changing software development – and we all need to embrace it! That was one of the key takeaways from our speakers. AI is already transforming the way we develop software, collaborate and build digital solutions. But what does this mean in practice – for businesses, development teams and the skills needed in the future?

These were some of the central questions explored throughout the conference. Our speakers shared practical insights into AI adoption, cybersecurity and the opportunities and challenges facing software development teams.

The fireside chat moderated by our CEO, Line Færch Milthers, featuring Michael Holm, Claus Millington and Halyna Shporlyuk, discussed how AI is changing software development and how the roles and skills of developers are evolving. Founder of Systematic, Michael Holm, gives his view on how software developers roles and competencies are changing.

The conference also featured customer perspectives from Systematic, Saxo and Plandent, offering insights into working with distributed development teams in an increasingly AI-driven world.

What did our participants think?

Beyond the presentations, the conference was about bringing people together, exchanging ideas and strengthening relationships. We asked some of our customers to share their reflections on the day, the topics and what 20 years of Conscensia means to them.

We also asked our owners and chairman what Conscensia’s 20-year anniversary mean to them? Check out what makes Conscensia and our long-term partnerships so special.

Celebrating 20 years – together

While the conference focused on the future, the occasion also gave us an opportunity to celebrate the people and partnerships that have shaped Conscensia over the past two decades.

Since our first development team started in Lviv, Ukraine, in 2006, Conscensia has grown into an international company with development hubs in Ukraine and Poland and long-standing relationships with customers across industries.

Many of these partnerships have lasted 10-15 years or more, something we are incredibly proud of.

In the evening, the professional discussions gave way to anniversary celebrations in both Warsaw and Lviv, bringing colleagues and customers together to mark 20 years of Conscensia.

Looking ahead to the next chapter

We chose to make our 20th anniversary about looking ahead. Technology will continue to evolve, AI will create new possibilities, and the demands on software development teams will change. What remains important is the value of strong partnerships, talented people and the ability to adapt together.

A big thank you to our speakers, customers and colleagues for making the conference and our 20th anniversary such a special occasion. We look forward to continuing the journey together!
