Tech Talk: Agentic AI Software Development, the harsh reality
Speaker: Nick Beaugeard (Insentra)
Abstract: In this session, we demonstrate a fully working system for robust development of enterprise software using AI. You'll see what works, what doesn't, how to ensure quality and how to ensure your code ships on time.

Tech Talk: When To Use AI Agents (And When Not To)
Speaker: Hugo Bowne-Anderson (Vanishing Gradients)
Abstract: LLM agents are everywhere, but do you need them? Multi-agent systems sound promising but add orchestration, debugging, and observability challenges. In this talk, you’ll learn when agents make sense, how to build structured agent workflows, and how to avoid unnecessary complexity. We’ll also touch on debugging techniques to keep agentic workflows reliable and scalable.
