Tech Events at AutogenAI, London

with Simon Prickett (Senior Developer Advocate, Grafana Labs) · Paulin Todev (Senior Software Engineer, Grafana Labs)

Two observability talks from Grafana Labs engineers, hosted at AutogenAI on Pentonville Road. Simon Prickett (Senior Developer Advocate) instrumented the 1980s arcade game Out Run with the OpenTelemetry C++ SDK and follows the traces, logs and screenshots through Tempo and Loki into Grafana dashboards, including the new GraphViz panel. Paulin Todev (Senior Software Engineer) covers why distributed traces are hard to collect well and how to catch the common problems with open-source tools. Food and networking from 18:00, talks 18:30 to 20:00. Free. You can take the wheel of Out Run during networking. Why go: practical OpenTelemetry content from the people who build the tools, with a playful demo. For SREs, platform engineers and anyone wiring up tracing.

with Tara Ojo Agyemang (Developer Relations Engineer, Google Chrome) · Nick Ferrell (Senior Lead Software Engineer, Focused)

Two talks on getting AI agents to work on the real web and in real production systems, hosted at AutogenAI's Pentonville Road office. Tara Ojo Agyemang, a Developer Relations Engineer on Google's Chrome team, opens with WebMCP. Most agents drive websites today by reading screenshots and guessing at the DOM, which breaks the moment a button moves and leaves site owners no say in how agents use their product; she covers what WebMCP proposes instead. Nick Ferrell, Senior Lead Software Engineer at Focused, follows with the last ten per cent, the evals, observability and cost work that turns an agent demo into something that runs reliably. Free. Doors 18:00, talks from 19:00. Why go: a rare London room where the Chrome platform side and the people shipping agents are in the same conversation. Best for engineers and product people who have an agent demo working and need it to survive contact with users.

We're delighted to welcome [Robert Clarke]( Principal Cloud Engineer, Cloudscaler and [Ryan Cormack]( Software Engineer and Architect, Community Member Here's what they're bringing: Everyone's talking about serving giant LLMs - but what about serving hundreds of small models without paying to keep every one of them running?

After 100 meetups as London DevOps, we kick off our refreshed identity with London DevOps AI meetup #001 at Autogen AI.

Shaping our future with AI. Creating opportunity through AI fluency, connection and community. No jargon. No hype. No confusing terminology. Join us for our next in-person meetup in London on Tuesday 29th September. The theme of this meetup is "Did AI Break Recruitment?" AI can rewrite your CV, apply for jobs, screen CVs and even interview candidates — but are these tools really helping? Doors open at 18:00 and the talks start at 19:00, at AutogenAI in Kings Cross. Networking, pizza and drinks.

with Robert Werner (Co-Founder & CTO, Leapter) · Sal Kimmich (Security Architect, Gadfly AI)

Two talks that cut through the noise on what agentic AI actually means for how we build software. Robert Werner (Co-Founder & CTO, Leapter) opens with The Validation Gap — AI is generating code faster than anyone can review it, and hope is not a strategy; he shares experiments and innovations in making verification keep pace with generation. Sal Kimmich (Security Architect, Gadfly AI) follows with Narrative Engineering — arguing that LLMs are narrative generators, not search engines, and that the engineering discipline to match barely exists yet. Hosted at AutogenAI in King’s Cross, sponsored by Leapter and AutogenAI.

The 76th meetup of the AWS User Group UK — London's longest-running AWS community. Technical talks, live demos, and networking for developers and cloud engineers building on AWS.
