Sessions (Afternoon)

✅ 2:00 PM - 2:45 PM [S4]: Technical Session: Building reliable agents with LangGraph
Speaker : Lance Martin, Software Engineer, LangChain
LangGraph is an open source library for building reliable agents. This talk will cover the motivations for LangGraph, the core pillars of the library (memory, streaming, human-in-the-loop, controllability), popular use-cases, and showcase the LangGraph Studio IDE to visually testing / debugging agents.

✅ 3:00 PM - 3:45 PM [S5]: Technical Session - Customize and fine tuning FMs for generative AI applications
Speaker : Suman Debnath, Principal Developer Advocate (AI/ML), AWS
Learn how to customize and fine-tune foundation models (FMs) to meet specific business requirements on Amazon Bedrock. This session will cover strategies for adjusting pre-trained models and improving their performance for generative AI use cases.

✅ 4:00 PM - 4:45 PM [S6]: Technical Session: Deep Dive into Claude 3.5: Unlocking AI Potential on AWS
Speaker: Elie Schoppik, Head of Technical Education, Anthropic
Join us for an in-depth technical session exploring the capabilities of Claude 3.5, the latest advancement in AI from Anthropic and how to use it on AWS using Amazon Bedrock. This session will cover Claude 3.5’s advanced reasoning capabilities, prompt engineering techniques, and empirical evaluations. We’ll also delve into best practices for prompt engineering, and how to optimize agents to advance Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) within your AWS environment. Whether you're an AI practitioner or an enterprise architect, this session will equip you with the knowledge to harness Claude 3.5’s full potential for enhanced AI workflows on AWS.

Workshop (Morning and Afternoon)

✅ 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM [W1] : Building Agentic workflows on AWS
Speaker: Banjo Obayomi, Senior Developer Advocate, AWS
This workshop is designed for builders ready to create Agentic Workflows on AWS, enabling large language models (LLMs) to act autonomously. Learn how to architect workflows where LLMs can perform tasks, provide assistance, and make decisions on behalf of users. By leveraging AWS services like Bedrock and SageMaker, participants will gain hands-on experience in building AI-powered systems that automate complex processes and enhance operational efficiency.

✅ 1:45 PM - 4:00 PM [W2] : More Information Coming Soon

Note: Workshops have limited space. First come first served.

Networking Mixer

✅ 5:00 PM - 7:30 PM - Join us for drinks, refreshments, and networking with attendees.
