🔍 **Description** Costruire il Context Layer: come la Data Fabric alimenta gli Agentic Workflow. Stiamo entrando nell'era dell'**Agentic AI**: sistemi autonomi che non si limitano a "parlare", ma agiscono concretamente all'interno del nostro **SDLC**. Tuttavia, un **agent** è efficace solo quanto il contesto a sua disposizione. Senza una data strategy robusta, anche l'LLM più avanzato rimane solo una "vibe" senza spina dorsale, incline ad allucinazioni ed errori di scala enterprise. In questa sessione, sposteremo il focus dall'hype alla **Platform Engineering** dei dati. Esploreremo come costruire un **context catalog** in tempo reale, capace di fornire agli agent la conoscenza organizzativa granulare necessaria per scrivere codice, testare e deployare con estrema sicurezza. 🎙️**Speaker** **Giulio Roggero** \- CTO @ Mia\-Platform 25 anni di esperienza in software engineering, imprenditore seriale con oltre 10 iniziative imprenditoriali lanciate; oggi è co-founder e CTO di Mia-Platform de AI-Native Developer Platform Foundation nominata da Gartner “Cool Vendor” per Software Engineering Technologies e inserita nel Magic Quadrant delle piattaforme applicative cloud. Aree di interesse principali: AI, cloud native, platform engineering, data fabric ed omnichannel experience. Ama dipingere miniature di Blood Bowl, costruire con i Lego, assemblare e guidare modellini di auto radiocomandate e imparare a suonare il pianoforte. **📝 Agenda** * **18.00**: Accesso e Networking (iniziamo a conoscerci!) * **18:30:** Welcome * **18:45**: Talk * **19:30:** Q&A * **19:45:** Pizza and drinks Nessun meetup è completo senza un momento conviviale. Durante la serata saranno offerte **bevande, birra e pizza** per facilitare il networking e continuare le discussioni in modo informale. **⚠️ Nota importante:** I posti sono limitati per garantire la qualità della conversazione durante la tavola rotonda. Assicurati di fare RSVP il prima possibile! **Ti aspettiamo per dare forma insieme al futuro dello sviluppo software!**
