Agenda
06:30pm - Doors open, food and drink served
07:00pm - Welcome
07:05pm - Rachel Lee Nabors "The Death of the Browser"
In ten years, Internet Browsers may be a nostalgic memory. As enterprises face mounting API costs and integration headaches, a new paradigm is emerging. The internet's evolution from an open highway into a maze of walled gardens and monetized APIs has created significant challenges for businesses—but it has also set the stage for accessing and organizing the world’s information.
This talk traces our journey from the invention of the browser to the arms race of scraping for data and access to it to the dawn of AI agents, showing how the challenges of today opened the door to tomorrow. See how technologies refined by the web scraping community are combining with large language models to create practical alternatives to costly API integrations.
From the rise of platform monopolies to the emergence of AI agents, this timeline-based exploration will help you understand where we've been, where we are, and where we're heading. Join us for a glimpse of how AI agents are enabling a return to the era of free information with ""the web as the API.
07:45pm - Break
08:00pm - James Faure, Clario "Beyond the Model: Where the Real Value in AI Lies Now"
The foundational model race is over. OpenAI, Meta, Google, Anthropic, and others have cemented their place, and while incremental gains will come, the biggest leap left is in reasoning over large context windows. So, where’s the real opportunity now?
In this talk, we’ll explore the next frontier: the application layer, or more commonly known as Agents. The winners in AI will be those who master the design of vertical agents—specialised, accurate, and cost-effective tools built on top of existing models. We’ll unpack how to build strong MOATs through system prompt engineering, what separates useful agents from noisy ones, and why the next generation of high-value AI products will be defined not by the models they use, but by how they use them. Whether you're building, investing, or leading, this session will show you where to focus for real impact.
