Description

Building Intentional APIs

Discover how reusable APIs unlock business value and AI-readiness

AI agent platforms are set to dramatically expand API usage, and organizations with well-designed APIs are poised to benefit most. The problem? Many enterprise APIs are still created ad hoc — inconsistent, hard to discover, poorly documented, and lacking business alignment. These shortcomings limit their long-term value.

Top-down mandates to “build reusable APIs” sound good in theory, but often clash with reality. Developers want flexibility and speed. Architects want control, consistency, and reuse. How can you bridge this divide?

In this hour-long LiveCast, we’ll bring together API product leaders and enterprise architects to explore what it really means to build intentional APIs — microservices and APIs that are consistent, discoverable, reusable, and strategically aligned to serve both internal developers and emerging agentic AI use cases.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Avoid a fragmented, low-quality API portfolio
  • Market and promote your best APIs internally and externally
  • Map APIs to business outcomes and brand guidelines
  • Align API design with top-down mandates and bottom-up realities
  • Define and invest in the “right” version of an API
  • Improve discoverability and documentation to support AI integration
  • Evaluate and refactor legacy APIs that weren’t designed intentionally

The LiveCast will feature Emmanuel Paraskakis, CEO and API product strategy consultant at Level 250, John Bogard, Chief Revenue Officer at digitalML, and Karl Fankhauser, a seasoned healthcare IT architect and former Director of Enterprise Architecture at Kaiser Permanente. Nordic APIs Editor-in-Chief Bill Doerrfeld will moderate the discussion and audience Q&A.
