​Join Google Developer Relations Engineer Toni Klopfenstein for a deep dive into the Agent Development Kit (ADK)—Google's powerful, open-source, and modular framework for building sophisticated AI agents.

​In today's fast-evolving landscape of Generative AI, developers need tools that offer control, flexibility, and scalability. This session will explore how the ADK helps you move beyond basic LLM prompts and embrace a code-first approach to agent development.

​What you will learn:
​*- How to utilize ADK for robust, customizable, and debuggable AI solutions.*
​*- Strategies for building complex, multi-agent architectures and workflows.*
​*- Ways to integrate your agents with a rich ecosystem of tools and APIs.*
​*- The future opportunities that ADK unlocks for your next-generation applications.*

And we will have one more speaker for a 10-minute partner talk: Dustin Shammo, Confluent Sr. Solutions Engineer

With deep expertise in legacy systems, cloud computing, and analytics, Dustin empowers organizations to unlock the value of real-time data streaming. He holds a Master of Science from Boston University and is dedicated to guiding customers in building mission-critical systems that drive business innovation.
