Building Local-First Agents with Microsoft Foundry Local & Agent Framework
Speaker: Manish Lad
Speaker Designation: AI Product Manager, Avalara
Most AI agents assume a network connection and a cloud bill. This session flips that, a real agent, built with Microsoft's Agent Framework, running entirely offline on a small Phi model via Foundry Local. We'll look at when local-first is genuinely the right product call, not just a novelty, then build and run one live.

The Agent Integration Trap: When MCP Starts to Hurt.
Speaker: Deepak Agarwal
Speaker Designation: Senior Architect, AI Engineering, Icertis
The first MCP server feels magical. Then come ten agents, twenty APIs, multiple credentials, duplicated integrations, and the uncomfortable realization that every agent is becoming its own mini integration platform. We’ll build our way out of that trap using MCP and the latest Azure AI Foundry tooling.
