Mendix on Tour Conference Comes to London – “The Future of App Dev”

The UK’s largest event dedicated to no code and low code, the technologies driving next-generation software development and business innovation

Hear from and speak with leading app dev experts, Mendix customers, and others making digital ideas come to life by challenging conventional development approaches and realising the future today

LONDON – JUNE 13th, 2019 – Mendix, a Siemens business, is the global leader in Visual Software Development (VSD), a category also known as no-code or low-code for the enterprise, today announced Mendix on Tour, the foremost UK event dedicated to “The Future of App Development.”

Taking place on July 2 at King’s Place, London, Mendix on Tour is the must-attend one-day experience for IT and business leaders curious about challenging conventional approaches to application development and making any digital idea they can imagine possible.

“In the UK, and globally, there is a severe shortage of seasoned and experienced developers able to meet the ever-increasing demand for new software” said Nick Ford, chief evangelist, Mendix. “We must break free from the thinking that businesses need to rely on professional developers to fill this gap. In reality, every company has plenty of people with the skills and appetite to make new digital projects come to life. By enabling everyone to take part in building new software, Mendix is the only rapid development platform that enables true collaboration across the enterprise.”

“From enterprise-grade apps that help factories run more efficiently to simple tools that save time, no code and low code are transformational leaps in how businesses can build software at incredible speed and scale” said Derek Roos, CEO, Mendix. “With no code and low code dramatically improving development time-to-market, the next step forward is incorporating artificial intelligence into the app dev process. By using AI to increase accuracy and reduce defects, we can extend the abilities of both new and seasoned developers even further to deliver software that has a measurable impact on the bottom-line.”

Gartner analysts predict that by 2022 at least 40% of new application development projects will use virtual AI co-developers on the team[1].
