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

Not all paths to tech leadership are conventional. Three leaders share their journeys and how diverse experiences shaped unique perspectives

South Coast Technology Leaders

Please come and join us for a slightly more relaxed event, befitting of the season. You get the usual opportunity to meet with fellow Technology but then sit back and relax to enjoy the stories and lessons from three individuals who have found very different paths to Technology Leadership.

We will then look to bring a bit of festive spirit to the occasion and allow you to embrace the opportunity to network with like-minded individuals
