The mobile landscape is evolving faster than ever. From native Android and iOS to cross-platform powerhouses like Flutter and React Native, developers are faced with an abundance of choices and unprecedented fragmentation. In this cross-framework panel discussion, experts from Android, Flutter, Swift, and React Native will debate the future of mobile app development. We'll explore the trade-offs between native performance and cross-platform efficiency, the rise of AI in coding, and how emerging tech like XR is reshaping user expectations.

As Flutter continues to expand its reach—powering everything from automotive multimedia systems to the next generation of agentic applications—the framework is evolving to meet the needs of a global, distributed community and ecosystem.

Beyond the code, we will explore the critical role of community-driven governance in sustaining Flutter's growth. With Canonical now serving as a lead maintainer for multi-window desktop support, we will discuss how Flutter is shifting toward a more decentralized governance model to ensure the framework remains "built by everyone, for everyone". Join us to see how we are reimagining the developer experience for an AI-driven world through Agentic Hot Reload and GenUI, and learn how you can contribute to the roadmap that will shape the future of cross-platform development.

Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of your favorite cross-platform framework? Join members of the Flutter Core Team for an open, interactive Q&A session! This is your unique opportunity to ask the engineers building Flutter directly about the framework's roadmap, deep technical architecture, and best practices for scaling apps. Whether you are curious about Impeller's rendering pipeline, Dart macros, or how to tackle complex state management, bring your hardest questions. We will cover a wide range of topics driven entirely by the audience.
