Context is King #5 – Context Optimization for AI Agents
Context is King is back for a fifth edition, this time in London. After four sold-out events in San Francisco and in the Nordics, we're continuing what makes this series work: real implementation stories from engineers building at the AI frontier.
The focus is on context engineering for AI agents: the discipline of designing what information an agent has access to and how it uses it. Context windows, tool use, memory, retrieval, MCP, agent harnesses — the playbook is being written in real time.
We're bringing engineers from companies building at the frontier to break it down. Expect implementation stories and live demos.
