When AI gets the keys to the house
Fabrizio Fiorucci, EMEA Solutions Architect at F5
We wouldn’t hand our front door key to a stranger on the street just because they spoke politely, yet millions of us do the digital equivalent with AI every single day. This talk explores what happens when eloquent software evolves from answering our questions to making decisions on our behalf, and why the future of technology isn’t about intelligence, but trust.
“Context Engineering: Getting More from AI for Less”
Colm Hogan, Global Applied AI Director, Cloudera
- Stop Token Waste: Why most organizations burn tokens and budget without realizing it—and actionable techniques to prevent it.
- Right-Sizing Models: How to choose the optimal model for a given task instead of defaulting to massive, expensive generalist models.
- Conquering Memory Loss: What happens when your AI session “forgets” (context compaction) and how to recover gracefully.
- Live Benchmarks & Demos: Practical before-and-after prompt optimization showing fewer tokens, lower cost, and higher-quality outputs.
We hope to see you there!
