Herbert Cuba Garcia

Herbert Cuba Garcia

Eidra, SE

I lead web technology at Umain (part of Eidra) — 35 developers building digital products for clients like Unit4 and Scania.

My focus has shifted from building interfaces to designing how humans and AI agents work together. I think the next decade belongs to organizations that treat human-agent team design as a first-class discipline — not an afterthought.

I write about this at cubagarcia.com: AI operating models, agentic CMS architecture, enterprise transformation, and the leadership shifts required to make any of it work.

Background: MSc Computer Science (HCI) from KTH. 13 years running my own development agency before joining Eidra. Frontend architect turned tech strategist. I have built CMSes, e-commerce platforms, and design systems — now I am building the frameworks for how AI agents fit into that stack.

Servus in Salzburg

Salzburg is one of Europe's most captivating cities, nestled between the Alps and the banks of the Salzach river. Known as the birthplace of Mozart and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the city effortlessly blends baroque architecture, a vibrant cultural scene, and stunning natural surroundings — all within easy reach of the conference venue.

But Salzburg is more than just sightseeing. The city is famous for its warm hospitality, cosy taverns, and outstanding local cuisine. Whether you are exploring the historic Old Town, taking in the views from Hohensalzburg Fortress, or simply enjoying a cold Stiegl in good company — Salzburg is a city that will leave a lasting impression long after the conference is over.

How the three days unfold

  • Day 1 — Hack Day: Introduced in 2025 and an instant hit, our community hack day brings everyone together to build, experiment, and collaborate. Optional, and included at no extra cost.
  • Day 2 — Conference: A full day of talks from across the Silverstripe community, followed by our conference party in the evening (stay tuned!).
  • Day 3 — Conference & Sightseeing: More talks, capped off with an organised sightseeing tour of Salzburg.
