Tech Talk: Local Agentic Workflows with Gemma 4
Speaker: Vrinda Bhatia (Square, Google Developer Expert)
Abstract: In this session, we will explore Google’s recently launched Gemma 4, a powerful family of multimodal models designed to bring state-of-the-art reasoning to local environments. We will learn various modes of hosting Gemma and explore how to build autonomous, privacy-first agents. The talk includes a live demonstration of hosting Gemma 4 locally, illustrating how to construct on-device agentic workflows without compromising production-grade performance.

Tech Talk: Securing Coding Agents: Sandboxes, Guardrails, and Real-World Attacks
Speaker: Dan Ndombe (Docker)
Abstract: While most coding agents have "sandboxes" and "permissions", did you know that they are easily bypassed? And it's rare that a day goes by without hearing how Claude or Codex or Copilot or insert new agent here has leaked credentials or deleted a filesystem. So, how do we fix this? In this talk, we'll talk about the various ways in which things can go wrong and how Docker's been building tooling to combat these issues. At the end of the day, Docker wants to help developers get the full power of agents, but provide the proper guardrails and observability. We'll dive into Docker Sandboxes, the MCP Toolkit, and get a sneak peek of upcoming features. There will be lots of demos (both good and bad!) of blocking various attacks, ranging from filesystem deletion, to API token leaks, and various prompt injections. It should be a lot of fun!
