RSVP Closes on Sep 28, at 5pm.

We are continuing our "For Coders, by coders" events. And this one is also HANDS ON!

This time, we are going to code AI agents! While everyone around us keep talking about how AI tools and agents are cool and how we can use it, we are going to dive deep into creating our own agents and using them through different SDKs and coding techniques.

OaaC - Office as a Code by Alex Pshul

What if you could program an office the same way you design a system? In this short 20 minute demo, Alex will show how to wire up a group of AI agents that take on familiar office personalities, like the boss, the intern, the accountant, and even the office gossip, and let them work (and argue!) together. It’s a lighthearted but practical look at how agentic architectures can mirror real-world dynamics inside any organization.

7:00pm - 7:30pm
From Playground to Production: Coding AI Agents on Azure a panel by Microsoft Cloud Advocates

In this panel, 5 Microsoft Cloud Advocates will share their experiences and insights on coding AI agents. From prototyping with open-source tools to running them in production on Azure, we’ll explore practical challenges, best practices, and what’s next for agentic architectures in the cloud. This is going to be an open conversation and you are welcome to ask any questions that come to mind during the discussion. And hey! Don’t be surprised if some panelists will answer with code snippets or quick demos from their own experience. 😉
