Tech Talk: The Future is Agentic: Tinkering with Google's Stack & Gemini 3
Speaker: Andrew Smith (Google)
Abstract: The era of agentic AI is here! Learn how Google Cloud is empowering developers to build powerful AI agents that can reason, plan, and act. This session will break down Google's Agentic Stack, including the open-source Agent Development Kit (ADK), the managed Vertex AI Agent Engine, and interoperability protocols. We'll also uncover the exciting new features and capabilities of Gemini 3, and how it's pushing the boundaries of what's possible with AI agents. Get ready for insights and practical tips to start building your own intelligent agents on Google Cloud.

Tech Talk: What's your Agent’s GPA? A Framework for Evaluating AI Agent Reliability
Speaker: Josh Reini (Snowflake)
Abstract: Agents often fail in ways you can’t see. They return a correct final answer while taking a broken path: drifting from the goal, making irrational plan jumps, or misusing tools. These hidden mistakes silently rack up compute costs, spike latency, and cause brittle behavior that collapses in production. Traditional evals won’t flag any of it because they only check the output, not the decisions that produced it.
This session introduces the new Agent GPA (Goal-Plan-Action) framework in the open-source TruLens library. You’ll learn how to inspect an agent’s reasoning steps, detect issues like hallucinations, bad tool calls, and missed actions, and leave knowing how to make your agent truly production-ready.

Tech Talk: Out of the Shadows, Managing AI Sprawl
Speaker: Alex Bermúdez (Airia)
Abstract: Across industry, the incorporation of Generative AI is being pressed left, right, and center. As companies push for GenAI to integrate across operations, exposure to new security, governance and quality assurance problems are taking shape. This conversational session will highlight some of the most pressing issues companies face today, and what to do about them.
