Important: Register on the event website to receive the joining link. (rsvp on meetup will NOT receive anything).

This is virtual event for our AI global community, please double-check your local time. Can't make it live? Register anyway to receive the webinar recording.

The Google AI Deep Dive Series is a hands-on virtual initiative designed to empower developers to architect the next generation of Agentic AI. Moving beyond basic prompting, this series guides you through the complete engineering lifecycle using Google’s advanced stack.
You will master the transition from local Gemini CLI environments to building intelligent agents with the Agent Development Kit (ADK) and Model Context Protocol (MCP), culminating in the deployment of secure, collaborative Agent-to-Agent (A2A) ecosystems on Google Cloud Run. Join us to build AI systems that can truly reason, act, and scale.

Tech Talk: Finding the clues in a sea of multimodal data
Speaker: Lucia Subatin (Google)
Abstract: Combine AlloyDB and BigQuery to scan unstructured and structured data through Conversational Analytics.

Tech Talk: ​Building and Deploying Enterprise AI Agents
Speaker: Aleksander Callebat, Solutions Architect, Databricks | Abhinav Bhatia, Partner engineer, Google Cloud
Abstract: Autonomous AI agents are transforming enterprise workflows, but moving from prototype to reliable, secure production requires robust data intelligence and scalable cloud infrastructure.
In this session, we will showcase how to architect, build, and deploy enterprise-grade AI agents. We will walk through the end-to-end lifecycle of an autonomous agent—leveraging the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform for unified data context and governance alongside Google Cloud infrastructure for high-performance orchestration and scale. Expect minimal slides and maximum live system demonstration, covering everything from tool routing and context retrieval to production deployment.

Tech Talk: ​Optimize LLM context with advanced ranking profiles and tensor operations
Speaker: Kristian Aune (Vespa)
Abstract: The RAG Blueprint is an application template for designing RAG systems. Built on the same core architecture that powers Perplexity, it codifies best practices for building accurate and scalable retrieval pipelines using hybrid search, phased ranking, and real-time inference. Learn how to use any type of scoring for hybrid fusion with tensor mathematics!
This talk should inspire practitioners to implement advanced AI applications with the full freedom of mathematics in ranking for high-precision context - with a live demo.
