About the Summit
Sapphire Ventures Hypergrowth Engineering Summit is a community-focused event, convening technical leaders (VPEs, CTOs, CIOs, CISOs, Heads of AI) from some of the most impactful hypergrowth startups and enterprises on the planet.
Closing the agentic loop is this year’s throughline, and our agenda will explore the core dimensions of agent engineering - including model selection, inference optimization, orchestration and control loops, tool use and world interaction, context engineering and memory, authentication and agentic security, long-horizon evaluation, observability and tracing, and the evolving role of the AI engineer.
