From Complexity to Clarity: Transform Your Coding with AI
Details
Build agentic applications with ADK, Gemini, A2A & Vertex AI
Learn directly from Gabriel Preda, Principal Data Scientist - Endava and Google Developer Expert, how to build next-generation agentic applications. In this session, he will guide you through leveraging the Agent Development Kit (ADK), Gemini advanced models, the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication protocol, and Vertex AI to create intelligent, autonomous applications.
Through a hands-on demo, you’ll see how to combine Vertex AI’s RAG Engine with Sequential and LLM ADK Agents, along with a variety of tools, to design applications that can think, communicate, and act intelligently.
Walk away with practical skills and insights to bring the full potential of agentic computing into your own projects!
Panel: From Complexity to Clarity: Transform Your Coding with AI
The evening will continue with a thought-provoking panel, where experts from the tech community will share their perspectives on how AI is transforming the way we design, build, and deliver software.
