From Harness to Agent
How we built and launched a reliable production AI agent, from the harness and failover patterns to the tools we used and what we would change next.
Three thoughtful presentations by AI Builders, IRL.
Why does this event exist?
We got tired of paying thousands of dollars to attend massive AI conferences only to sit through one sales pitch after another. Eventually, we got angry enough to build the event we actually wanted to attend: practical, candid, and focused on what people actually learned.

Memory retrieval techniques to get your agent what it needs when it needs it.
The best agentic systems don't replace traditional machine learning, they utilize it.
How it works
Dinner Circles
After the event, you are invited to join an optional small-group dinner. We will randomly pair attendees and presenters into groups of four so you can continue the conversation, meet new people, and dig deeper into what you heard.
Dinner is optional, and attendees will order and pay for their own meal.
FAQ
Anyone interested in how AI is being used in the real world, especially people building, experimenting with, or implementing AI in their work.
No. You do not need to be an engineer to follow the talks, and the goal is not beginner fluff either. Speakers will explain the context clearly, then get into the real decisions, tradeoffs, and lessons behind the work.
You will hear three real-world AI case studies. Each speaker will share what they tried, what worked, what did not, and what they would do differently. Each presentation will be followed by Q&A.
No. The focus is on practical experiences and honest lessons, not sales pitches.
The inaugural event is free to attend.
Yes. Space is limited, so we recommend reserving your spot early.
This event is in person only. We are keeping it local and face-to-face so people can have better conversations, ask candid questions, and actually connect with other AI builders.
After the event, attendees can optionally join a small-group dinner. We will organize interested attendees into groups of four so you can continue the conversation and meet other local AI builders.
No. Dinner is optional, and attendees will order and pay for their own meal.
Not at all. You are welcome to attend the event only.
This is the brainchild of Jason Marrott.
Yes. We are always interested in hearing from people with real-world AI experiences to share, especially the lessons that came from things that did not go as planned.
