This session focuses on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — the emerging standard for connecting AI agents with tools, data, and enterprise systems.
We’ll explore how MCP enables secure, contextual interaction in modern agentic architectures and learn from real-world implementation experiences.
Attendees are welcome to join just this part or stay for both parts of the day.

Spec-Driven Development, Agent Framework & Ignite 2025 Announcements

(This is the second part of a two-part event. Attendees may join either part or both. Register to the first part here)
Join us for the evening session of Agentic Architecture Day 2025, where we shift from MCP fundamentals to the broader evolution of AI engineering and the agentic ecosystem revealed at Microsoft Ignite 2025.
This session provides a practical and strategic view of how development teams can transition from traditional patterns to Spec-Driven AI Engineering and adopt the Microsoft Agent Framework as part of Microsoft’s emerging Agentic Stack.
We’ll explore architecture, tooling, discipline, and real-world experiences in building and scaling agentic systems in production.
