Product is... prompt AND context engineering
Product Is… is BACK! After a break since April last year, we're excited to return in 2026 with lots of really interesting new themes and discussions to be had.
Let's start with one.
Here's the thing: you've been learning to write better prompts. But what if the prompt is the easy bit? What if context is where all the real work lives - and what if product people are the only ones who know how to do it properly?
Will Chan, Senior Product Manager at Risk Ledger and organiser of the AI Signals meetup, will lead us through why context engineering might be the most important skill you're not thinking about.
This event will be at Synechron's office on the seventh floor, 95 Gresham Street, London, EC2V 7NA. A massive thank you to Synechron for providing the venue.
Doors open at 6:30 PM, we kick off at 7:00 PM, and wrap up by 8:30 PM. Drinks and snacks will be provided. Come ready for proper discussion, new connections, and ideas worth thinking about.
\-\-\- THE THEME \- PRODUCT IS\.\.\. PROMPT AND CONTEXT ENGINEERING \-\-\-
For product managers, designers, and researchers, context is everything. Context is the currency that sets product people apart from other disciplines like development or commercial teams. Product professionals need to understand the widest range of contexts - from users to business to implementation.
As AI tools become embedded in our work, something interesting is emerging. To create effective prompts, context has to be injected accurately. But here's where things get fascinating - you may need to create prompts to create context to create prompts. It's turtles all the way down.
The more time you spend using AI in products, the more you find yourself going back in your process. You're creating prompts for the final prompt, for the output you need to be as effective as possible. You might spend longer creating the prompt than doing the work itself.
Join us as we explore what context engineering means for product people. How do you manage context in a rapidly changing world? What does this look like in a qualitative world where product people live in the grey area? Is context engineering the right term, or is it something else entirely? These are the questions we'll be tackling together.
\-\-\- THE SPEAKER \- WILL CHAN \-\-\-
Will is a Senior Product Manager at Risk Ledger and organiser of the AI Signals meetup. With over 10 years of experience building and scaling SaaS products in regulated, data-heavy environments, Will specialises in taking complex problems and turning them into products that drive measurable outcomes.
Across legaltech, telecoms, workforce management, and retail media, Will has led discovery through delivery for AI and automation initiatives, improving adoption, containment, conversion, and operational efficiency at scale. Most recently, he's owned AI strategy and delivery for customer-facing platforms, doubling feature adoption and embedding AI safely into real workflows rather than demos or prototypes.
Alongside delivery, Will enjoys developing product talent. He's coached PMs, shaped product playbooks, and led teams through clearer discovery, prioritisation, and execution practices. Will is passionate about practical AI application and real customer impact over hype.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- ABOUT 'PRODUCT IS\.\.\.' \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
PMs, UX & UI designers, user researchers, developers - you like to dream big when it comes to digital products… Now it's time share your perspective!
'Product is…' grounds itself in informed, knowledgeable context and healthy conversation - vital ingredients to tech success. One keynote speaker sets the tone on a theme of less travelled subject matter before all attendees add their perspective during the second half of round table-style discussion.
Don't expect standard tech meetup fare like "How to improve your CV/Portfolio for that dream job at Facebook" or "How this new framework/approach will improve your workflow" - this meetup is food for the mind, but also a place to meet like-minded big-thinkers!
We welcome everyone who works in tech - EVERYONE has a valuable perspective that we learn from.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- WHY WE CHARGE FOR TICKETS \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
We do not aim to make a profit from this meetup, our goal is to create healthy and interesting conversations, meet new people and make new connections. Speakers and the organising team give up their time free of charge to ensure the events are enjoyable for all.
A small charge is required for attendance - this allows the organisation team to cover overheads, including the Meetup.com subscription, plus food and drink for the evening.

London. An Awkward Couple: AI and the Sacred Space of Imagination
**IMPORTANT!** Please register on Luma page [https://luma.com/91i0ao14](https://luma.com/91i0ao14)
Computers used to be for calculation. Now, they are for creation. As AI enters the sacred space of human imagination, we need to reappraise our relationship with the machine.
Will MacNeil, an award-winning digital artist whose work spans top brands including Nike, Adidas, BBC, EA Sports, and the National Museum of Qatar, joins the Projector Global Community to discuss this evolving dynamic.
**In this talk, Will explores:**
* **The Human Wrestle:** How to "wrestle" with digital tools to create work that feels innately human-crafted.
* **Data Storytelling:** How to use samples of abstract data to create moving artworks that tell emotional stories.
* **The New Frontier:** How to harness and exploit AI to discover new creative languages – without being consumed by the machine itself.
This session wraps these practical insights in a larger discussion about how computers and digital media are influencing our lives and our development as a society.
**Join us at Barclays Eagle Labs** for a deep dive into how a top-tier Creative Director uses code not just to automate, but to elevate human expression.
**Perfect for:** Designers, data scientists, and innovators who want to keep their fingers on the pulse of what is possible in creative tech.
**Speaker's Bio: Will MacNeil** is an award-winning digital artist and Creative Director whose work sits at the intersection of data-driven design, real-time systems, and generative art.
Based in London, Will has honed his craft at some of the world’s leading studios, including **The Mill, MPC, Jellyfish, and Foreign Office Design**. He has led major creative campaigns for global powerhouses such as **Nike, Adidas, BBC, EA Sports, and the National Museum of Qatar**.

Vibe Coding in London: Java, AI Agents & MCP Hands-On
The **Women Coding Community (WCC)** is celebrating International Women's Week with a high-energy, hands-on Vibe Coding in London. This isn't just a presentation. It's a community coding event where we build the future of our platform together.
This is vibe-coding hours in London where we build real things together using AI tools and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). No passive watching. Just coding, experimenting, and learning from each other.
**What we'll get into:** MCP in action, connecting AI agents to real tools and data sources.
\- Exploring Claude\, JetBrains AI and GitHub Copilot/Codex in a Java workflow\,
\- Prompt skills that actually work\, how to get AI to write better code\,
\- Pair programming with AI as your co\-pilot\.
**Vibe coding**: implement things together, in real time, in person
**Who this is for:** Developers curious how MCP actually works in practice. Java learners who want to use AI tools to level up faster. Anyone who learns better by doing than watching.
Never attended our events before? No problem, this event stands completely on its own. Just bring your laptop and curiosity.
**Choose your approach:**
**The Architect:** Come with a specific Java project idea and your initial implementation. Use this time to pair program with mentors to solve bugs or add features.

Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association:
They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved.
Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online
