Session - The Hidden Secrets: Are Your Agents Fair or Just Persuasive?

Agent systems inherit bias from prompts, tools, memory, retrieval, and reward signals. I’ll show where bias actually emerges inside the loop and how to catch it before it reaches users. We will instrument agent plans, design counterfactual tests, add slice-based evals, and wire guardrails without killing velocity. Expect real failures, reproducible demos, and the exact checks I use to ship agents with confidence.

Speaker 2 - Johan Smarius | Microsoft MVP on .NET and DevOps, MCT, Software Developer @ JMAC Software Solutions & Consultant @ Bergler

Johan has been developing software since 1996 and has worked with .NET since version 1.0. With extensive experience as a lead developer and architect for .NET solutions, he is deeply passionate about clean coding and test-driven development. At JMAC Software Solutions and Bergler, he designs architectures for .NET solutions and coaches and trains developers in the domain of software engineering in general and Microsoft technologies in particular.

Session: Blazor WASM and Azure Static Web Apps a great combination

Blazor keeps getting better and better. But where will you host the great new app we have built with it? You could use an Azure App Service for this, but there is another great option in Azure: Static web apps. In this session, I will show you what Azure Static Web Apps are all about and how to combine these with Blazor WebAssembly. The better part of this talk will be spent in Azure and code, so don't expect a lot of slides.
