#76: What I’m Still Processing From Workday DevCon 2026

In this solo episode of Workday Gold, Keith shares what he is still processing after attending Workday DevCon 2026 in Las Vegas. Rather than trying to cover every announcement, he focuses on the themes that matter most to Workday customers, consultants, and technology leaders, including Developer Agent, Orchestrate, Agent Passport, Workday Data Cloud, deployment agent, flex credits, and the future of user access to Workday.
Keith also reflects on the practical implications behind the announcements. The Developer Agent will make Workday developers faster. But that doesn’t mean that anyone can use it. You need developer knowledge to truly get value from it. How should customers think about flex credit consumption? Where should enterprise agents live? Will the modules required to access these new tools create a divide between customers who can invest in them and those who cannot? This episode is a practical, thoughtful look at where Workday may be headed and what Workday professionals should be paying attention to now.
