The two-day conference focuses on production AI engineering challenges: context engineering for agents using MCP, inference cost optimization including KV cache strategies, agent reliability and evaluation frameworks, zero-trust agentic systems, and AI's impact on the software development lifecycle. Speakers come from LinkedIn, DoorDash, Netflix, Apple, Red Hat, and others. Sessions address the gap between AI demos and production-grade systems that handle real traffic, cost constraints, and compliance requirements. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
