AI Engineering Deep Dive: From Prototype to Production

# From AI Prototype to Production

Building an AI prototype that works in a demo is relatively easy. The real challenge is making it accurate, reliable, secure and maintainable in a production environment.
Designed for AI Engineers, ML Engineers and Software Engineers, this event focuses on the complete engineering journey from AI prototype development to production deployment.
The session will cover AI Agents, RAG, model integration, evaluation, error handling, cost optimisation and production monitoring. Through practical engineering experience and real-world examples, attendees will learn how to transform a working AI demo into a reliable, production-ready application.

## What You’ll Learn

• The complete journey from AI prototype to production deployment
• Production-ready AI Agent and workflow design
• RAG, tool calling and model integration
• AI output testing and evaluation
• Hallucination management, retries and error handling
• Latency, token cost and performance optimisation
• AI application deployment, monitoring and continuous improvement
• Common technical challenges and solutions from real-world projects

This event is focused exclusively on practical AI engineering. It will not cover general AI trends, business strategy, career advice or basic AI tool tutorials.
