Microsoft Agent Framework: Reliable Agentic Orchestration in .NET

Agent-based systems are moving from experimentation into real production use, but most implementations still struggle with reliability, coordination, and scale.
In this session, we will explore how to build reliable agentic workflows in .NET using the Microsoft Agent Framework. The focus is not just on concepts, but on how to design and orchestrate agents that can handle real-world complexity.
We will break down how agent orchestration works, how different agents communicate and collaborate, and what it takes to make these systems dependable in production environments.
You will also gain insight into practical patterns for handling failures, managing state, and ensuring consistent execution across workflows.
Whether you are building AI-driven applications or simply exploring the future of backend systems in .NET, this session will give you a grounded understanding of what works and what to avoid.
What you will learn:

• Core concepts behind agentic systems in .NET
• How to orchestrate multiple agents effectively
• Designing for reliability and fault tolerance
• Practical approaches to production-ready implementations

This is a practical, engineering-focused session for developers who want to go beyond demos and build systems that actually work.
