🎤 Featured Speakers
Dan Starns - MCP RAG: Intelligent Tool Discovery at Scale
LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielstarns/
Dan will demonstrate MCP RAG, a groundbreaking approach to managing large AI toolsets using graph-based vector search. Learn how Neo4j-powered semantic search dramatically reduces context overhead when working with extensive tool libraries. See live benchmarks showing improved efficiency and performance while maintaining accuracy across 90+ tools. Perfect for developers building scalable AI applications with complex tool ecosystems.
Adam Chan - Building with AI Coding Agents Effectively
LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/itsajchan/
Adam shares ten practical principles for generating and shipping project ideas at high speed—without losing structure, clarity, or context. He breaks down how to design ideas that AI coding agents can understand, remember, and execute on, even with limited context windows.
He’ll walk through real open-source examples, including projects with local-running AI models, the ideal tech stack that works for him, and tools that accelerate prototyping. The session ends with a live demo showing how to go from idea → architecture → working prototype in minutes.
Lubos Kmetko - Build Better APIs with Hey API
LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mrlubos/
Discover how to generate production-ready TypeScript SDKs, validators, and API clients from OpenAPI specifications. Lubos will show how companies like Google, Amazon, and PayPal use Hey API to eliminate manual API maintenance and create type-safe, customizable outputs. Learn about the plugin ecosystem, client generation for multiple runtimes (Fetch API, Angular, Next.js, Nuxt), and how to automate your entire API development workflow.
Joyz Ng - E2E Automated Testing with AI Tools
LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joyzng/
Hands-on experience sharing on how AI-powered tools are transforming end-to-end testing. This session covers practical insights on leveraging open-source libraries and popular MCPs for different development roles and testing objectives. Features a live demo of a custom built tool for blackbox web testing, with real world examples of streamlining test automation.
Thorsten Schaeff - Vibe coding with Google AI Studio and Antigravity.
LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thorwebdev/
Learn how the latest Gemini 3 powered tools like Google AI Studio and Antigravity can help you build MVPs quickly and how to continue iterating on your projects with Antigravity.
