We're planning a hands-on technical session focused on building AI solutions in ServiceNow - think skills, agents, and real-world use cases. If you’re curious about AI on the platform, RSVP now and stay tuned for more details. Let's build together!

NOTE: Chris will join virtually, event is hybrid. Learn how to enhance modern .NET applications using the .NET Aspire stack alongside AI technologies, both locally and in the cloud. Learn you how you can bring LLMs into your apps using Microsoft.Extensions.AI, whether you’re calling models hosted in Azure OpenAI or running them locally with Ollama. From the simplicity of adding a chat interface to orchestrating complex interactions with multi-step reasoning agents, you’ll see firsthand how Aspire and AI unlock new possibilities. This session will cover: • Building AI-powered apps with Aspire’s opinionated orchestration • Connecting to Azure OpenAI, Ollama-hosted LLMs, and GitHub’s Code LLMs • Integrating Semantic Kernel to enable memory, embeddings, and planner-based agents • Designing and deploying lightweight agents for real-time workflows • Best practices for performance, reliability, and deployment (local and cloud) Whether you’re exploring AI for the first time or looking to add intelligent features to an existing .NET solution, this talk gives you the tools and examples you need to get started—with no rewrite required. \-\-\- Meet and greet at 6:30, presentation begins at 7 PM ET.
