Networking
Drinks with people across engineering, AI, implementation and customer delivery.
Until 21:30
Forward deployed engineers sit where customers, technology, product and delivery meet. Most of the workflows they automate run in a browser, on web apps nobody on the team owns. This evening is about what it takes to make those workflows hold up once agents run them.
Reliable
Runs the same way on the hundredth try as on the first, on pages that change.
Reusable
Built once, then handed to the next customer instead of rebuilt from scratch.
Agent-ready
Structured so an agent can act on it, with a human able to step in.
Practitioners first. If your job is making software work in a real customer’s world, this evening is for you.
