18:35 – The EM as Context Architect - Vlad Shuteev, Engineering Manager at Manychat

Engineering managers don't lose relevance because AI gets smarter — they lose it because context transfer becomes cheaper. In this talk, I share how I built a personal AI system that sees the same inputs I do: Slack channels, meeting transcripts, Notion docs, people profiles. The system learns my patterns over time and surfaces insights before action — not after. Through six concrete principles and real examples, I show what it means to architect context instead of carrying it in your head. And what stays irreversibly human: presence in 1:1s, lead-by-example moments, empathy in hard conversations.

19:00 - Don't Delegate Understanding, Pau Ramon, CEO at Ramensoft.
Is this an AI talk or a Leadership talk? There's only one way to know.

19:25 – Closing remarks
19:30 – Networking with Food & Drinks
21:00 – Close
