About This Workshop

Why This Context Engineering Workshop Is Different From Everything Else in 2026

Most AI workshops teach you to call the OpenAI API. This context engineering workshop teaches you to architect reliable, transparent, production-grade AI systems — the skill stack that is defining the next generation of AI engineers.

🔹

What is Context Engineering?

Context engineering is the discipline of designing AI systems that provide the right information, tools, and context to LLMs at the right time — replacing brittle prompts with reliable, scalable production AI architectures.

🤖

What are Multi-Agent Systems?

Multi-agent systems are AI architectures where specialised agents collaborate to accomplish complex tasks. This workshop shows you how to orchestrate them reliably using the Model Context Protocol and semantic blueprints.

🔗

What is the Model Context Protocol?

MCP is Anthropic's open standard for connecting AI models to tools, data sources, and other agents. This workshop teaches you to use MCP for building orchestrated multi-agent workflows that are transparent and controllable.

🎯

Why Attend as a Live Workshop?

Context engineering and multi-agent systems have almost no quality hands-on resources. This 6-hour live workshop gives you a complete guided build with a bestselling AI author answering your questions throughout.

Workshop Curriculum

What This Context Engineering Workshop Covers

Six modules. Six hours. A production-ready context engine by the time you finish.

01

Semantic Blueprints

Design structured context that gives AI agents precise, goal-driven contextual awareness beyond simple prompting.

02

Multi-Agent Orchestration With MCP

Orchestrate specialised agents using the Model Context Protocol for adaptable, context-rich reasoning workflows.

03

High-Fidelity RAG Pipelines

Engineer retrieval-augmented generation pipelines with citations, memory, and safeguards against hallucination.

04

Memory Engineering

Design AI memory systems that maintain context across long conversations and complex multi-step workflows.

05

Safeguards and Trust

Implement moderation, data poisoning protection, prompt injection prevention, and trust mechanisms for production AI.

06

Glass-Box Context Engine

Build a transparent, traceable Context Engine that gives you complete visibility and control over your AI system.

What You Walk Away With

By the End of This Context Engineering Workshop You Will Have

A working production system — not just architectural knowledge.

A fully working multi-agent system with context engineering

MCP-orchestrated agent workflows you can use in production

High-fidelity RAG pipeline with citations and memory

Semantic blueprints and agent architecture patterns

Production-ready safeguards against hallucination and injection

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About This Context Engineering Workshop

Common questions about the workshop, what to expect, and how to prepare.

What is context engineering and why does it matter in 2026? +

Context engineering is the discipline of designing systems that provide the right information, tools, and context to LLMs at the right time — moving beyond brittle prompt engineering to reliable production AI architecture. In 2026, context engineering has become the foundational skill for building AI systems that actually work in production, not just in demos.

What will I build in this context engineering workshop? +

You will build a fully operational Glass-Box Context Engine — a transparent, traceable multi-agent AI system. By the end of this workshop you will have working semantic blueprints, MCP-orchestrated agent workflows, a high-fidelity RAG pipeline with citations, memory engineering, and production-ready safeguards against hallucination and prompt injection.

What is the Model Context Protocol and why does this workshop use it? +

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is Anthropic's open standard for connecting AI models to tools, data sources, and other agents. This context engineering workshop uses MCP because it is the most robust and vendor-neutral approach to building orchestrated multi-agent systems — giving you skills that apply across different AI providers and frameworks.

Is this context engineering workshop suitable for intermediate developers? +

This workshop is designed for developers with intermediate Python experience and basic LLM familiarity. You do not need prior experience with context engineering or multi-agent systems. Denis Rothman builds from first principles ensuring every participant understands the architecture, not just the code.

How is context engineering different from prompt engineering? +

Prompt engineering means crafting individual instructions for a single LLM call. Context engineering means designing complete systems that manage what information agents receive, how they communicate, what tools they use, and how their outputs are validated and trusted. Context engineering operates at the architectural level while prompt engineering operates at the query level.

Is this context engineering workshop recorded? +

Yes. All registered participants receive a full recording of this context engineering workshop after the live session on April 25 so you can rewatch any module at your own pace.
