as the organisers put it
As a global hub for finance, technology, and regulation, London sets the stage for critical conversations at the intersection of APIs and AI. It’s the ideal environment to explore how APIs enable scalable, secure, and intelligent systems across industries.
who it's for
API architects, platform engineers, API product managers, integration engineers, AI engineers, security engineers, cloud sustainability leads
topics
OpenAPI 3.2 new features; AsyncAPI semantic alignment; GraphQL subscriptions and tooling; Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers; agent orchestration and alignment; retrieval augmented generation pipelines; multimodel hybrid SQL plus vectors; Specmatic contract testing and fuzzing; API drift detection and prevention; egress gateway and AI model routing; clean architecture for API reuse; IT sustainability and SUSAF impact

| Green IT is good but it's not enough! | Ian Brooks | 24m |
Green IT cuts device and data‑center lifecycle emissions but only accounts for 2–4% of greenhouse gases (some estimates at 1.6%), so the real push is to apply… | ||
| Lost in Translation: Unlocking Integration Success Beyond AsyncAPI. | Daniel Kocot | 18m |
Claims that AsyncAPI solves only syntax not semantics and that success comes from explicit language alignment, not more specs. Uses Data Interface Quadrants (a… | ||
| Is Your API Agentic-AI Ready? | Naresh Jain | 28m |
Specmatic converts specs (Open API, AsyncAPI, GraphQL SDL) into executable mocks and auto-generated contract tests, claims to catch API drift early and speed… | ||
| GraphQL: Accelerating Digital Transformation Through Modern APIs. | Ayodeji Erinfolami, Gabriel Udo Udo | 19m |
GraphQL claims to cut the API integration work that often consumes 60% of engineering time by replacing many REST endpoints with a single endpoint that returns… | ||
| RAG Without the Hassle: Building AI-Powered Applications | Peng Wang | 13m |
Claims a single multimodel database can replace OLTP, OLAP and a separate vector store by running one hybrid SQL that merges vector, spatial and scalar… | ||
| Harmonising LLM Agents for Real-World Market Intelligence:[...] | Oluwatosin Oyeladun | 13m |
Claims a concrete pipeline called Decision Alignment Protocols that coordinates domain agents (financial, regulatory, sentiment) via intracluster consensus… | ||
| Do you speak Agent? The convergence of APIs, MCP, A2A, and Agent Languages. | Steven Willmott | 26m |
Overview of where APIs meet agents: compares OpenAPI-style REST calls with MCP model context protocol tool calls and legacy FIPA ACL agent semantics, shows… | ||
| The AI-Augmented Engineer [...] | Olatunji Sikiru | 15m |
Three concrete development modes guide tool choices and outcomes: traditional (waterfall) development uses CI/CD, cloud hosting and proven libraries so… | ||
| API Drift: A Hidden Crisis in MCP Servers | Naresh Jain | 30m |
Claims that MCP servers suffer spec/drift get concrete validation: a team scans 200 MCP servers and builds an open source fuzzer called Specmatic MCP auto test… | ||
| API Management for AI: Governing Ingress and Egress Traffic. | Pubudu Chinthaka Gunatilaka | 19m |
Current API stacks ignore outbound AI calls so leaked credentials, unmonitored paid usage and compliance breaches go unnoticed; WSO2 proposes an egress gateway… | ||
| Are APIs becoming obsolete? Think MCP, ACP, A2A, AGNTCY etc. | Shreshta Shyamsundar | 21m |
Claim: APIs are not dead but must evolve into a hybrid stack where traditional REST/JSON APIs handle core transactions while agent protocols manage context… | ||
| Towards higher Reusability : Applying Clean Architecture to API Landscape. | R. Jrad | 01h 10m |
Applies Clean Architecture and Domain‑Driven Design to split a sprawling API estate into domain‑bounded layers with gatekeeping APIs and an anti‑corruption… | ||
| Future-Proofing Your APIs: A Holistic Approach to Security, Privacy, and ROI. | Ravinder Pal SIngh | 16m |
Framework prescribes three pillars—security, privacy, ROI—backed by concrete claims: 73% of organisations lack a full API inventory, broken access control… | ||
| ICT & cloud footprint data at scale: [...] | Amael Parreaux-Ey | 22m |
Resilio Database exposes a parametric LCA algorithm as an API that builds a device or service from technical ingredients (CPU, screen, RAM, SSD), returns 16… | ||
| Securing APIs in a Zero Trust Network Environment | Kazeem Mutiu | 24m |
Claims that API abuse is now the top attack vector, cites a T-Mo 2023 API breach exposing 37 million customer records, and proposes a Zero Trust API stack… | ||
