Context Engineering for Agentic Development | AI Engineering Leaders Dinner at QCon SF
A private dinner for engineering leaders working through the real challenges of AI-assisted development, held alongside QCon SF.
Everyone's investing in AI coding tools, but the output hasn't matched the hype. Engineers are still spending real time reviewing, correcting, and rerunning what agents produce, and that cost adds up.
Unblocked is hosting a private dinner in San Francisco during QCon SF for engineering leaders tackling this head-on: what does it take to get AI-generated code to a point teams can actually trust?
Discussion Topics:
The missing context. Decisions, conventions, and history that live outside the codebase but shape whether agents get it right
Separating what works from what doesn't. Rules, skills, MCP servers, purpose-built context engines - where each one earns its place, and where it falls short
Expanding autonomy responsibly. Where agents can be trusted to work independently, and where human review still needs to hold
What to expect:
A focused, high-signal discussion among engineering executives
Deliberately small so the conversation stays candid and grounded
A 3-course private dinner in San Francisco
Who's at the table: VPs and Heads of Engineering, plus platform and developer experience leaders at software companies putting AI dev tools to work.
We keep the guest list tight, that's what makes the conversation worth having.
About Unblocked:
Unblocked is the context layer for agentic software development, reasoning across code, conversations, issues, docs, product, and production systems so agents can complete more work correctly with less oversight.
Space is limited and by invitation only. Request a seat below and we'll confirm by email.
