Then. Now. Next.
Ten years ago, a group of tech leaders decided to do something different — not another conference, but a room where you could say the hard thing. A decade later, we're back on the beach to look back honestly, sit with the now, and get intentional about what comes next.
About 0111 2026
A decade in. Still asking the hard questions.
The industry looks nothing like it did. AI didn't just change our roadmaps, it changed what it even means to be a CTO. Some of us have scaled companies, others have rebuilt them from the ground up. We've led through a pandemic, through economic whiplash, through a level of technological disruption that honestly none of us fully predicted. And here we are; still here, still building, still asking the hard questions.
Then. Now. Next. is the thread running through everything: the talks, the experiences, the conversations that happen between sessions. Limited to just 100 attendees, 0111 is intentionally intimate — designed for real conversations, radical growth, and relationship-building that lasts.
The Three Threads
One concept, three angles. Every talk and conversation lives somewhere on this arc.
Then.
The decade that made you. The hard pivots, the calls you'd remake, the lessons only earned in the chair.
Now.
AI didn't just change the roadmap, it changed the role. Honest talk about what's actually working — and what isn't.
Next.
What the next chapter looks like for you, your team, and the craft. Built together, on the beach, in the open.
