Important: Register on the event website is required for admission.

Most AI agent demos look great in a notebook, but getting them into production means dealing with authentication, secrets, IAM policies, container builds, observability, and repeatable deployments. The proof of concept rarely covers any of that.

Join us for an evening of practical content on getting AI agents from prototype to production. Expect a hands-on workshop where you'll deploy a real multi-agent system on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, with all infrastructure defined as code using Pulumi.

Agenda:

• - 5:30pm~6:00pm: Checkin, food and networking
• - 6:00pm~6:15pm: Welcome + intro to Pulumi
• - 6:15pm~7:30pm: Hands-on workshop: Deploying AI Agents
• - 7:30pm~8:30pm: Open discussion, Mixer and Closing.

What You'll Learn:

• Go from a minimal agent to a multi-tool, multi-agent system on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore
• Define your AI infrastructure as code
• Patterns for authentication, secrets, IAM, and observability when running agents in production
• Structure agent workflows that coordinate tasks, call external tools, execute code, and maintain state over time

Who Should Attend:
Engineers, platform teams, DevOps practitioners, and AI/ML developers who want to move past notebook demos and deploy real AI agents to production. Useful for anyone building on AWS, evaluating Bedrock AgentCore, or bringing infrastructure-as-code discipline to an AI workload.

Hands-on Workshop: Deploying AI Agents on AWS with Pulumi and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore
Instructor: Engin Diri (Pulumi) | Adam Gordon Bell (Pulumi)
Abstract: In this hands-on session, you'll go from a minimal agent to a multi-tool, multi-agent system running on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, with all infrastructure defined as code using Pulumi. You'll build and deploy agents that coordinate tasks, call external tools, execute code, and maintain state over time.
You'll walk away with:
- A working multi-agent system deployed on AWS
- Infrastructure as code you can reuse and extend
- Hands-on experience with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and Pulumi

Sponsors:
We are actively seeking sponsors to support AI developers community. Whether it is by offering venue spaces, providing food, or cash sponsorship. Sponsors will not only speak at the meetups, receive prominent recognition, but also gain exposure to our extensive membership base of 20,000+ AI developers in New York and 500K+ worldwide.

This is exclusively invited event, please apply to attend on the event website REQUIRED for admission.

The event is designed for Senior AI Developers and Tech Leaders, such as CTOs, CIOs, AI architects, and senior leaders making decisions about AI adoption and security.

THE DOCUMENTARY
Before this documentary is released to the world, we are bringing together a select group of senior AI leaders in New York for an exclusive premiere screening.

AI agents are being deployed faster than they are being secured. 88% of organisations have already experienced a confirmed or suspected AI agent security incident — yet only 14% have full security approval for their agent fleet. This documentary confronts that gap head on.

Hosted by Alex Kantrowitz — founder of Big Technology, the film brings together four of the most important voices on AI agent security working today.

• Ramesh Raskar , MIT Associate Professor — what makes AI agents uniquely dangerous and what the speed of deployment actually means for security.
• Theresa Payton , former White House Chief Information Officer — why this is not just an enterprise risk problem and what the broader stakes are.
• Sharon Gai , ex Alibaba - what innovation is happening in enterprises and scale ups.
• Rory Blundell CEO of Gravitee — what organisations can actually do about it right now.

All captured by an Emmy award winning director.

The EVENT
This is an invite-only evening in New York. A red carpet champagne reception, a private screening of the documentary, a Q&A, and a conversation worth having. The decisions being made about AI agent security right now will matter for years.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
CTOs, CIOs, AI architects, and senior leaders making decisions about AI adoption and security.

AGENDA:

• 6:00 Red carpet champagne reception
• 7:00 Screening (25 minutes)
• 7:25 Q&A (30 minutes)
• 7:55 Networking
• 9:00 Closing

Q&A SPEAKERS:
Lessons From The Documentary Q&A - Alex Kantrowitz and Rory Blundell, CEO of Gravitee
The process of making this film took Alex & Rory deep into the AI agent security conversation — across disciplines, industries, and perspectives. They share what they found and what it means for the decisions organizations are making right now.
