Tech talk: Taming Claude Code: Building Deterministic Workflows with the SDK
Speaker: Tyrone Avnit (Civic)
Abstract: Most devs use Claude Code interactively, but the SDK lets you wrap it in programmatic control—forcing plan mode, extracting structured outputs, and orchestrating multi-step workflows. Ty will live-code a simple agent that turns Claude Code from a chatbot into a predictable state machine.

Tech talk + Code Lab: Agent2Agent (A2A Protocol)
Speaker: Holt Skinner (Google)
Abstract: This event provides a deep dive into the Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol, equipping engineers with the architectural standards and implementation strategies needed to build interoperable, autonomous systems where AI agents securely discover, negotiate, and collaborate on complex tasks.
Stick around after the talk for a live coding lab! Bring your laptop and let’s build something together.
