Rest and reconnect to your True Nature with Yoga Nidra and awaken to a life of unshakable peace and wellbeing. Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) is derived from the ancient tantric practice and is a unique combination of modern science and ancient yoga teachings. It is a guided mindfulness-based practice that focuses on body sensing, breathing techniques, emotional relaxation and guided consciousness meditation. Backed by science and research, the practice has been proven to assist with deep rest, stress, anxiety, insomnia, pain management and PTSD. Yoga Nidra can be a loving and supportive practice to living your best life. Life can be hard at times, sometimes really hard and we could all use a little support, self-care/love and rest from the mayhem. In this highly regenerative meditative state, we gently allow the sound and vibrations from the Gongs to shift and release stagnant energy and tension accumulated in the bodies. You can restore and rejuvenate your body, heal and recover from illness, and re-wire your brain for greater mental and emotional balance and resiliency.

Offering of sound to the temple you reside is a purification process. The space within is cleansed and is receptive to what is. The Sounds offered in this session may intensify your presence. And that, offering presence is said to be healing . The function of the instrument Gong and Singing Bowls are commonly used in sacred places to induce quietude and silence – the cosmic background Sound and space where life thrives best. This is a simple and gentle method to evoke stillness. And as a consequence, the act of doing is refined to be meditative and focused.

But a new class of systems is emerging where software also sees, understands, and acts in the real world. This talk introduces that shift in an accessible, developer friendly way. We will explore how modern AI systems connect perception (like images and language) to real world actions, and how developers design feedback loops where machines can observe, decide, and act. Using simple examples from robotics and manufacturing, we will break down complex ideas into familiar software concepts like event loops, state, and orchestration. In this session, you will learn: \* How “sense think act” systems map to patterns software engineers already know \* How computer vision and language models are combined to drive real world actions \* How XR can be used as a developer interface to monitor and guide intelligent systems \* What kinds of engineering roles and skills are emerging in this space No background in robotics or AI is required. This talk is designed to build intuition, not expertise, and to give you a broader view of where software engineering is heading beyond traditional web and backend systems.

## Build an AI Backend ​Chatbots are frontend. The interesting question is: what happens when AI moves into your backend? ​Not a copilot. Not a chat widget. A reasoning layer that sits alongside your services - making decisions that used to be hardcoded, replacing brittle if-else chains with logic that actually understands context. ​[AgentField](https://umami-production-286d.up.railway.app/q/qu0EUyujU) is infrastructure for this. Agents that share memory without Redis. Agents that find each other without service registries. Just Python/typescript functions - no DAGs, no YAML, no workflow definitions. ​Come build something that belongs in a backend, not a chat window. ​**The Workshop:** ​In one hour, you'll build a system where multiple agents research a topic in parallel, share what they find, and go deeper where it matters. ​Not by wiring up message queues. Not by defining DAG configs. You'll write Python (or typescript) functions, and the coordination just happens. * ​**Reasoners** \- Functions where AI makes decisions * ​**Skills** \- Functions where code does the work * ​**Memory** \- State that flows between agents automatically * ​**Discovery** \- Agents call each other by name\, routing happens ​By the end, you'll have a working deep research system - the same pattern that powers everything from due diligence pipelines to adaptive content generation. ​Want to try it before the hackathon? [Join our Discord](https://discord.com/invite/aBHaXMkpqh) \- ask questions\, get help if you get stuck\, or just say hi\. ​**What makes this different:** * ​**Memory without infrastructure** \- Memory that works across all your agents\. No Redis\, no Postgres\, no config\. * ​**Agents find each other** \- Discovery engine routes automatically\. No service registry setup\. * ​**Reasoners vs Skills** \- AI decides\, code executes\. Clean separation that's easy to test and reason about\. * ​**Just simple** \- No workflow DSLs\. No DAG definitions\. Write functions\, decorate them\, done\. ​**The Challenge:** ​Rethink what AI applications look like after the chatbot. ​The chatbot was AI-as-interface: human inputs, AI responds. The AI backend is AI-as-infrastructure: agents that make decisions, share context, and do work - whether a human is watching or not. ​Build the application that exists on the other side of that shift. ​**🏆 Prizes:** ​$2,000 USD in OpenRouter credits: * ​1st Place: $1,000 * ​2nd Place: $600 * ​3rd Place: $400 **⚡ Agenda:** * ​10:00 AM - Kickoff + Workshop: From Hello World to Deep Research * ​10:30 AM - Team formation + hacking begins * ​12:00 PM - Lunch * ​3:30 PM - Hacking ends / Live demos (3 min per team) * ​4:30 PM - Winners announced * ​5:00 PM - Close **Who should come:** * ​You've built chatbots and want to build something deeper * ​You're curious what AI looks like when it's not a UI feature * ​You want to replace some hardcoded logic with reasoning * ​You just like building things ​Python or TypeScript. No agent experience needed. ​**How we'll judge:** 1. ​**New problem space** \- Is this AI\-as\-infrastructure in a domain we haven't seen? Show us something beyond chatbots\. 2. ​**Replaced complexity** \- Did you simplify an architecture that was previously a mess of services\, queues\, or hardcoded rules? Does it make sense cost\-wise? 3. ​**High leverage** \- Either high volume \(worth automating\) or high stakes \(worth reasoning about\)\. Bonus if both\. 4. ​**Previously impossible** \- Does this enable something that couldn't exist before? Not just faster or cheaper \- genuinely new\. **💡 What could you build?** * ​**Pricing that adapts in real-time** \- Considers inventory\, demand\, and competition \(for example\) simultaneously\. Reasoning and autonomous\, not rules\. * ​**Supply chain that coordinates** \- Shortage detected\, alternatives evaluated\, routes recalculated\, alerts sent\. * ​**Code Security Review for PR** \- Every PR launching and finding complex security threats and patterns that are non\-trivial ​Build something we haven't thought of here, and you have your own startup at hand ! ​**📚 Resources:** * ​Docs: [agentfield.ai/docs](https://agentfield.ai/docs/?utm_campaign=hackaton_1&utm_source=aibuilders&utm_medium=hackaton&utm_id=hack_sing-1&utm_content=docs-cta) * ​GitHub: [github.com/Agent-Field/agentfield](https://umami-production-286d.up.railway.app/q/qu0EUyujU) * ​Discord: [Join](https://discord.com/invite/aBHaXMkpqh) to prep and find teammates * ​Deep Research Guide: [Build your first system](https://umami-production-286d.up.railway.app/q/qu0EUyujU) * ​Blog: [The AI Backend](https://agentfield.ai/blog/posts/ai-backend/?utm_campaign=hackaton_1&utm_source=aibuilders&utm_medium=hackaton&utm_id=hack_sing-1&utm_content=blog-cta) **🤝 Hosts:** * ​**AgentField** \- Backend infrastructure layer for autonomous AI\. * ​**AI Builders** \- Community of engineers building the future of AI\. ⚠️ Limited spots.

I love my job and one of the main things I do is help customers get going with any of the data technologies at Microsoft. Right now there are a lot of my customers asking about Microsoft Fabric. It's hard to weave across all the shiny new options across the Fabric landscape, let alone figure out where it fits into your organization. In this session we'll focus on answering one question - how can I get data into Fabric? We'll talk through the "it depends" options and see some of the options in live demos.

OWASP is ending use of Meetup, so I built an eventbrite for the event. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ai-development-risk-case-studies-and-how-agentic-ai-is-the-future-of-appsec-tickets-1981450622150?aff=oddtdtcreator AI is transforming how software is designed, developed, and deployed, dramatically accelerating velocity while introducing new categories of risk. As organizations adopt AI-assisted coding, autonomous agents, and increasingly complex model interactions, traditional application security approaches struggle to keep pace. This talk examines emerging AI-driven risks through real case studies from the field, highlighting issues such as insecure code generation, data-leakage pathways, model manipulation, and evolving supply-chain threats. We will explore how engineering teams must adapt their people, processes, and governance models to secure AI-augmented development workflows effectively. The session will then introduce agentic AI as the next evolution in application security—autonomous systems capable of continuous analysis, multi-step reasoning, and real-time remediation. Attendees will learn how combining agentic AI with modern practices can reduce developer friction, improve coverage, and create a future-ready application security strategy designed for the demands of AI-native software development

Session Abstract **No Map Required: Geospatial Analytics Directly in Your Data Warehouse** Think geospatial analysis requires specialized GIS software? Think again. This session introduces you to shapefiles and spatial operations right inside your database—no mapping application required. We'll demystify shapefiles (what they are, how they work, and where to get them) and show you how nearly every modern database —from DuckDB to Snowflake, supports spatial operations. You'll see practical demos covering spatial joins, distance calculations, and how to determine if two shapes interact with each other. Whether you're a data engineer optimizing delivery routes, an analyst aggregating metrics by geography, or a BI developer building location-aware dashboards, this session will show you how to unlock powerful spatial capabilities already built into your database stack—no specialized tools required. \*Please note, that we will be using Microsoft Teams for the online portion of this meeting. You may want to join a few minutes early to ensure you do not have any issues. If you are attending in person, there are large TVs at the office, and you do not need to bring a laptop or use Teams.

### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way? This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents. Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to: Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture. Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases. Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI. Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem. Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.
