**Ship Agents That Earn Trust** ​Wed\, 13 May 2026 \| 2:00 PM – 6:30 PM SGT ​📍 \*SCAPE, L5 TreeTop, 2 Orchard Link, Singapore 237978 ​🎫 Complimentary food and drinks provided ​⸻ ​**About the Event** ​Every AI team is building agents, but very few can answer what happens when those agents need to act outside their own system. ​When an AI agent crosses an organisational boundary, it carries no verifiable identity. There is no way for the system on the other side to confirm what it is authorised to do, who sent it, or whether it can be trusted at all. The result is a trust gap that no amount of model improvement closes, because it is an infrastructure problem, not an intelligence one. ​This afternoon brings together AI founders and builders to confront that gap directly. Glenn Gore, CEO of Affinidi and former AWS Chief Architect, will give an opening address on building the Internet of Trust, and we will have a guest speaker, Managing Director of Temasek, Pradyumna Agrawal, who will speak about identity, trust, and the future of AI agents. ​You will also hear from a select group of AI companies already building on Affinidi Trust Fabric, sharing their production challenges. ​Whether you are architecting agentic infrastructure, building AI products, or stress-testing your assumptions about what trustworthy agents actually require, this is a conversation worth leaning in. Expect sharp thinking, real use cases, and the space to connect with a community of founders and builders working on the same hard problems. ​Complimentary dinner and drinks are included as the afternoon winds down, to continue conversations. ​RSVP on LUMA required: [https://luma.com/2lv08v20](https://luma.com/2lv08v20) ​⸻ ​**🛠 What's Happening** ​2:00 PM — **Registration and networking** ​2:35 PM — **Opening Address by Glenn Gore**, CEO of Affinidi and former Chief Architect at AWS: *Building the Internet of Trust* ​2:50 PM — **Guest Speaker: Pradyumna Agrawal**, Managing Director of Temasek: *Identity, Trust, and the Future of AI Agents* ​3:05 PM — **Community Spotlight: Arul Murugan,** Founder, GrowthLab ​3:15 PM — **Featured builder spotlights**: How AI companies are applying Affinidi Trust Fabric in real-world agentic solutions ​4:40 PM — **Panel discussion and audience Q&A** ​5:20 PM — **Networking dinner and builder conversations**: Mingle with founders, AI leaders, and builders over dinner.

Join us for lunch/tea at Asterisk Supper Club to discuss our May book "Under the Oak Tree" by Suji Kim Lady Maximilian is the daughter of the powerful Duke Croyso, but she is rarely allowed outside her family’s sprawling castle for fear that her stutter will tarnish their noble name. When she is forced to marry Sir Riftan, a lowborn knight caught in one of her father’s schemes, Maxi doesn’t dare hope for happiness, let alone love. Her stumbling communication and his gruff manner sour their relationship before it can begin, and Riftan leaves without a word the morning after their vows are exchanged. Now, three years after their disastrous wedding night, Riftan has returned as a war hero. To Maxi’s surprise, despite rumors that he was offered marriage to Princess Agnes, a beautiful and renowned sorceress, Riftan still wants Maxi for his wife. And when he comes to claim her, his longing becomes a desire that bewilders Maxi, even as she is overcome by the scorching heat that Riftan’s presence ignites within her. As she learns to navigate the intricacies of her new life, Maxi will find herself and her courage, and discover that she is anything but powerless.

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!
