**Talk 1**
***From Prototype to Production with Strands Agents and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore with Danilo Poccia***

AI agents are a new class of software applications that use AI models to reason, plan, act, learn, and adapt in pursuit of user-defined goals with limited human oversight. Building AI agents that can reliably perform complex tasks has become increasingly accessible thanks to open source frameworks like Strands Agents. However, moving from a promising proof-of-concept to a production-ready agent that can scale to thousands of users presents significant challenges.

Through hands-on demos, we'll build a system from scratch and progressively deploy it to production using the comprehensive enterprise-grade services provided by AgentCore. You'll learn to implement key production capabilities, including secure session isolation, persistent memory, identity management, and real-time observability. The learnings can be applied to any framework and model, hosted on Amazon Bedrock or elsewhere.

**Talk 2**
***My AI Coding Partner: Building the London Improv Calendar on AWS with Diana Ionita***

What happens when you treat AI like a coding partner? In this talk, I’ll share how I used AI tools to build the London Improv Calendar - a fully serverless application on AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, and more). This isn’t theory; it’s a practical, in-the-trenches account of working with AI as a solo engineer. We’ll cover what worked well, what fell flat, and where AI truly accelerated development. If you’re curious about pairing AI with serverless, or just want some real-world lessons you can apply to your own projects, this session is for you.

AWS AI In Practice #1

AutogenAI

We're delighted to welcome [Sheen Brisals](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sheen-brisals/), Engineering Leader, AWS Hero and Author and [Andrew Langhorn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ajlanghorn/), Principal Solutions Architect, AWS.

**Sheen** will show you have to build truly decoupled, resilient systems on AWS. This talk shows how Amazon EventBridge powers event-driven, serverless architectures - what it is, when to use it, and how real teams apply it in production.

**Andrew** will lift the lid on AWS Nitro - the custom-built hypervisor behind modern EC2. In this fast-paced tour, learn what Nitro is, why AWS built it, and how it boosts performance, security, and flexibility for your workloads (with a cameo from the legendary dom0).

**PLEASE NOTE WE ARE STARTING THE TALKS AT 6:15 NOT 6:30!**

**Talk 1:**
***Advanced Event-Driven Patterns With Amazon EventBridge with Sheen Brisals***

Asynchronous communication and event-driven architecture are core to building distributed applications. Amazon EventBridge, a fully-managed serverless event bus, enables coordinating distributed and loosely coupled microservices to accomplish business functionality.

In this session, understand the characteristics of EventBridge and how it plays a pivotal role in serverless architectures. Learn the primary elements of event-driven architecture and some of the best practices. With real-world use cases, explore how the features of EventBridge support implementing advanced architectural patterns in serverless.

**Talk 2:**
***A Hitchhiker's Guide to Nitro with Andrew Langhorn***

A large range of EC2 instance families and AWS services make use of AWS’ custom-built hypervisor, AWS Nitro. Learn what it is, how we ended up there and what advantages it has for your workloads in this whistle stop tour, featuring special guests, such as dom0
