🧠 Memory for AI Agents — Linden Schrage (Agent PM) on what it means to give agents long-term memory for the enterprise. She will explore how memory unlocks more capable, context-aware systems — and what it means for the next generation of intelligent agents and transforming the customer experience companies.

⚡ Reliable Inference Layers — Kimberly Patron (Intrastructure Engineer) on engineering resilient layers that reduce P99 latency by 70%+ by dynamically routing requests to the healthiest model providers and intelligently hedging slow calls.

🎙️ Voice Latency Pipelines — Beth Nakamura (Agent Engineering Lead) on the technical breakdown of mitigating latency in real-time voice. She will discuss where latency comes from, how do we mitigate it, and why it matters.

After the tech talks, don’t miss this candid panel and Q&A featuring Sachi Shah (Product Manager), Erin Rudwall (VP of Sales), and Beth Nakamura (Agent Engineering Lead) moderated by Kelly Kitagawa (Sales Engineer) discussing careers in AI, representation, startup culture, and what it’s really like building in this industry.
