Cursor Meetup: A Panathēnea 2026 Official Side Event for CEOs and Founders

​An evening for CEOs and founders of engineering-led companies on what's actually possible with Cursor and agentic coding right now. Room is sized for peer conversation: 30 to 35 seats.

​Fireside chat (45 min)

​Vasilis Tsolis, Cursor ambassador for Athens and founder of Cursor Workshop, in conversation with a Cursor account manager. The art of the possible with Cursor and agentic coding: where teams are getting real leverage and where it still falls apart. The honest version, from people who train and ship with this every day.

​Case study: Your AI Read the Rules. It Just Doesn't Care.

​Lukas Holzer, founder of Straion (context management for coding agents).

​Context windows keep doubling. We all thought: finally, I can dump my entire .cursorrules file and it'll just follow them. It doesn't. The code compiles, tests pass, and it's still ignoring your service patterns and inventing creative error handling. The problem isn't window size. It's that more rules means less attention per rule. Eight sharp rules beat 200 dumped ones, every time. Lukas walks through what actually works, with real examples from his own setup.

​Case study #2

​TBD
