Build Production-Ready, Full-Stack AI Agents with Gemini 2.5 and Google's Latest Frameworks

Move beyond theoretical AI concepts and dive into building practical, production-ready AI agents in this intensive, hands-on workshop. We'll harness the power of Gemini 2.5, utilizing Google's latest open-source framework designed for building sophisticated single and multi-agent systems, Agent Development Kit (ADK).

What You Will Learn:

This workshop covers the full stack of agent development, from data integration to final deployment and runtime.
Develop with ADK: Learn to build modular, controllable agents using the ADK framework.
Enable Agent Collaboration: Implement sophisticated multi-agent workflows using the open Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol..
Deploy & Orchestrate: Transition your agents from development to production using flexible deployment strategies. We'll cover deploying and managing agents using Vertex AI Agent Engine, and Google Cloud Run. Learn to scale, manage, and ensure the reliability of your agent systems in the cloud.
Production Focus: Understand the complete lifecycle, including packaging agents, deploying them reliably on Google Cloud.
Introduce Observability: Briefly cover essential concepts for monitoring your production agents
By the end of this workshop, you'll have practical experience building and orchestrating multi-agent systems using Google's cutting-edge AI technologies, preparing you to implement real-world, production-grade AI solutions.
