Whether you're a seasoned Cloud Architect, a curious developer, or just starting your AWS journey, come along for some top-tier technical sessions, networking, and the usual refreshments.

Speaker 1: Luke Towell, Senior Consultant @ Burendo
Talk Title: An introduction and demonstration of Amazon Bedrock AgentCore
Talk Description: The title says it all, really. Amazon Bedrock AgentCore is at the forefront of building agentic platforms at scale, and Luke is here to show us how it actually works in the wild.
In this session, Luke will provide a technical overview of Bedrock AgentCore and its features. He’ll then move into the "how-to" by walking us through the plan and implementation of a multi-agent system using LangGraph and Bedrock AgentCore.
This talk is likely to tick your boxes if you’re interested in:
- [x] Mastering AWS GenAI services
- [x] Bedrock & Agentic technologies
- [x] Dungeons and Dragons
- [x] Witnessing (highly likely) sketchy live demos
About Luke: Luke is a Senior Consultant at Burendo with a passion for building complex systems and occasionally breaking them in front of a live audience.
