29 Apr IAP at PUG BALTIC 2025
PUG Baltic
On May 15th, OpenEdge users and developers will come together at the University of Tallinn to learn more about the trends of tomorrow. The annual PUG Baltic is an exciting event – and we from IAP will be there as sponsors and speakers!
At the beginning of the event, representatives from Progress will report on the latest developments in and around OpenEdge, particularly concerning the cloud. The following presentations will then focus on the revolutionary trend of our time: Artificial Intelligence – and its impact on software development with OpenEdge.

How can Artificial Intelligence be employed effectively within an OpenEdge environment? How can AI and OF-1- our low-code development system – interact? And what needs to be considered? These are just some of the aspects that our speakers Klaus de Vries and Stefan Freystätter together with Allar Allas from Inspirators! will highlight in their one-hour presentation at this year’s PUG Baltic.
After a joint lunch, the afternoon will be filled with further expert presentations.
