And that is a wrap on AI in Production 2026. ๐
George Stagg (Posit Software) closed out the talks with a builder's guide to working with AI agents, before our CEO, Esther brought the conference to a close.
Thank you to our sponsors, speakers, facilitators, and attendees who made this first edition so special.
The afternoon sessions at AI in Production 2026 have been just as strong. ๐
Knowledge graphs, AI in internal audit, deep learning for player safety, and the discipline of using AI well.
Thank you to Jonny Law, Nathan Bilton, Myles Mitchell and Grant Beasley, and Katy Morgan for such thoughtful talks.
Lunch is served at AI in Production 2026. ๐ฝ๏ธ
A well-earned break after a packed morning of talks. The room is buzzing with conversation and we still have a full afternoon ahead.
The morning sessions at AI in Production 2026 have covered a lot of ground.
From agentic AI and MCP to async agents, LLM evaluation, and GenAI in text analytics.
Thank you to Neal Richardson, Colin Eberhardt, Seb Ringrose, Shona Ferguson, and Izzie Johnson and Damani Richards for such an engaging morning.
Lightning talks done and what a session it was. ๐
Badr Adnani, Rebecca Guiney, Obinna Iheanachor, Diego Jimenez and Oliver Thomas, and William Kirby all took to the stage with topics spanning AI automation, agentic systems, RAG, and machine learning in the real world.
Thank you to all five speakers. ๐
Day two of AI in Production 2026 is here. ๐
Attendees are gathering over breakfast, and Colin is kicking off the day with a welcome note.
A full day of talks ahead, and the room is ready for it!
The afternoon workshops are underway, and they are all about the practical side of AI in production. ๐
Shiny meets LLMs with Myles Mitchell (Jumping Rivers), Databricks Genie Rooms with Declan Watson and Liam Wilkinson, and self-hosted LLM inference with Daniel Burkhardt Cerigo (datavaluepeople).
A dinner reception rounds off a packed day one.
And that's a wrap on the morning workshops at AI in Production 2026. ๐
This morning covered prompt engineering and LLM-driven workflows in R and Python, productionising with Databricks using the Medallion Architecture, and improving workflows with Positron and AI.
Three packed sessions with a lot of knowledge shared across the room.
