Designing Context First AI Systems & Building a Modern Day Language - and AI

Part 1: Designing Context First AI Systems
Speaker: Shubhangi Goyal - Microsoft MVP

This session explores how to design context-first AI architectures where retrieval, memory, metadata, and workflow logic work together to ground LLMs in the right information at the right time. I will break down the building blocks of context engineering, vector search, structured context injection, guardrails, and adaptive memory and discuss how to build systems that reduce hallucinations, improve reasoning, and deliver reliable real-world performance in the business. Attendees will walk away with practical patterns for designing AI applications that adapt with high contextual intelligence.

Shubhangi is a driven and results-oriented tech leader, educator, creator and speaker with a decade of experience across Business Intelligence, Data Science, and Artificial Intelligence.

Part 2: Building a Modern Day Language - and AI

In this follow-up session, Callum picks changes pace, diving deeper into the journey of designing and building a modern programming language from the ground up. But this time, there's a twist — what happens when you bring AI into the mix?
