Advanced Autonomous AI Agents: Memory, Collaboration and Evolution in Action
It's impossible to be a developer in 2025 and not feel the AI buzz. But now we're moving beyond chat clients—this is the year of Agentic AI. Agents are small, goal driven, AI systems, that can act on the user's behalf.
In this session, we'll dive deep into the intricacies of pro-code Agents based in the .NET ecosystem and Azure. With Semantic Kernel as the AI SDK of choice, and using models exposed in Azure Foundry.

But the code is just our starting point!
We'll explore some really hard questions, like:
What is the best way to let Agents solve issues in collaboration?
What happens to an Agent if you let it evolve over time, and how do you actually solve evolution?
What is the best way to handle memory for Agents?
Can Agents do a good job reasoning over complex topics, such as economic facts?
How do we handle web requests most economically? As those cost more tokens than anything else we can do with an AI system!
And of course, we have to discuss what the best current available models are for building Agentic systems!
These are not theoretical puzzles. They are real-world challenges when building agentic systems that interact with the world—whether through .NET logic or calling external MCP services. Expect surprising outcomes, hard-earned lessons, and a few dragons along the way.
Join this session to get tons of hard learned insights and a cool demo to inspire you!

Improving your dev experience with .NET Aspire
Building applications today is a lot more complicated than it used to be, as we tend to shy away from monoliths and build, at least somewhat, distributed applications. On top of that, they tend to be dependent on a bunch of external services like Redis, SQL, Service Buses and Kafka. All of them, things that make your application development a more complicated.
Sure, a lot of it can be handled by a bunch of configuration, conventions and Docker. But it still takes time, is sometimes overly complicated, and causes quite a few headaches. What if it didn't have to?
.NET Aspire is built to simplify your development in these kinds of scenarios. The goal is to allow you to orchestrate your solution using code, and have the framework sort out things like service discovery, telemetry, logging, resiliency and more.
In this presentation you will get an introduction to what .NET Aspire can do for you! It will also try to explain a bit about how it actually works, instead of just showing the new and shiny stuff and saying that it is the result of many sacrificed chickens and black magic!
