Enjoy talking with the other participants before the workshop begins.

18:30 〜 20:30 Practical AI for Web Developers - Tamas Piros

This hands-on workshop is designed for web developers looking to integrate AI capabilities into real-world applications by way of using Large Language Models. Delivered by Tamas Piros, Director of Developer Advocacy at Cloudinary and Google Developer Expert, the session focuses on practical, full-stack implementations of generative AI, moving beyond theory and into actionable code.

The workshop begins with a foundational overview of large language models (LLMs), and their tuning parameters. Participants will explore key concepts such as tokenisation, temperature, context management, multimodal inputs, hallucination prevention, and grounding techniques. These fundamentals are then directly applied through a series of live coding sessions.

Participants will also learn how to integrate generative capaabitlieies via JavaScript/TypeScript and Node.js.

Topics covered include:

• Introduction to generative AI concepts tailored for web developers
• Prompt engineering and streaming techniques
• Function calling and tool invocation patterns
• Context injection and memory handling

Who Should Attend:

• Web developers with a working knowledge of JavaScript, Node.js, or frontend frameworks such as React/Next.js
• Engineers exploring how to bring LLMs into production environments
• Technologists seeking a practical understanding of LLMs and AI tooling

Prerequisites:

• A laptop with Node.js installed
• Basic familiarity with Git and the command line

20:30 〜 21:00 Open Networking
