Day 3: AI Engineering Track

The final day goes deep on AI engineering: evals, retrieval, cost, guardrails and agents on call.

Overview

The last day is for the people actually shipping AI features, not the people selling them. Evals as unit tests, retrieval that survives real traffic, token budgets your finance team can read and guardrails that hold up against a determined user.

Talks alternate between the main stage and Room A, with a security thread running through the afternoon: prompt injection threat models for ordinary teams and what changes when an agent joins the on-call rotation. The data contracts panel at 15:30 pulls the three days together, and Mateo Ferreira-Holm closes the summit with a short talk on what stays the same.

Recordings, slides and the code from every live demo are posted to the agenda within a week.
