Talk 1: Building Multi-Agentic AI Architecture on Langflow by Melissa Herrera, Developer Relations Engineer at DataStax (now IBM) on the Langflow team
Talk 1 Details: This talk shows you how to build multi-agent workflows in Langflow that actually work together seamlessly. I'll walk through orchestrating agents, integrating real-time data with tools like Composio and Astra DB, and share the hard-learned lessons / common pitfalls from building these systems.
Talk 2: Model Context Protocol (MCP) Deep Dive by Ramnivas Laddad of Exograph
Talk 2 Details: Large language models (LLMs) are powerful--but only when they have access to the right context. While techniques like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) help bridge this gap, they remain limited in the types of questions they can answer and tasks they can perform. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) addresses this by providing an open, lightweight standard that connects AI models to real-time information and external tools. In this session, you'll get a hands-on introduction to MCP: how it works, how it seamlessly integrates LLMs with external systems, and how it fits into the broader AI tooling ecosystem. We'll explore working examples of MCP servers, watch a model interact with them to perform meaningful tasks, and get a preview of upcoming changes to the MCP specification--making this session ideal for developers aiming to build more capable, context-aware, and responsive AI applications.
Talk 2 Speaker Bio: Ramnivas is a technologist, author, and presenter passionate about doing software right. He has been at the forefront of innovation in the Spring Framework and Cloud Foundry since their inception, leading a group within Cloud Foundry and founding the Spring Cloud project. He is the author of AspectJ in Action (1st and 2nd editions), the best-selling book on aspect-oriented programming. Ramnivas has spoken at leading industry events including JavaOne, ScalaDays, JavaPolis, SpringOne, and O'Reilly OSCON. He is also the co-founder of Exograph, a Rust-powered framework that enables developers to expose data sources like Postgres to LLMs via MCP, offering a secure, structured, and policy-aware integration.
We look forward to building Silicon Valley's Gen AI community together! 🚀
