3:00 PM: From Unreliable to Unstoppable: Building Production-Ready Data Agents with ADK

AI agents promise to revolutionize how we interact with data, but initial prototypes often fail, producing inaccurate SQL and unreliable answers. In this session, Sathyaram Sannasi provides a practical guide to overcoming these challenges by building and optimizing robust Natural Language-to-SQL agents using Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK).

3:40 PM: Networking Zone + Prayer

4:25 PM: Idea to Business in Hours: The Penny Projects Method

Join Yazeed AlMarwani in his session: Idea to Business in Hours: The Penny Project Method.

This session will be a practical and inspiring talk for entrepreneurs and developers who want to move quickly in times of uncertainty. When exploring new ideas, friction slows everything down because long planning cycles, technical hesitation, and unclear direction make it easy to lose momentum.

This session introduces a mindset that encourages rapid prototyping using AI and tools like Firebase to reduce cost, simplify execution, and remove barriers to creativity. Attendees learn to focus on the essentials: product feel, user flow, and real market reactions without getting trapped in overthinking or overbuilding.

The core message is simple. When you lower friction and build faster, you gain the freedom to explore more ideas with confidence, learn sooner, and innovate without fear.

5:05 PM: Prompt Engineering Unleashed: A Journey from Beginner to Pro

Abdul Basit's talk offers a comprehensive guide to prompt engineering, the critical skill of crafting effective instructions for large language models.
