PRO Session: Building Production Ready, Intelligent Agentic Systems with Dapr Agents
Thursday May 29, 2025 9:30am - 9:55am PDT
Mark Fussell, Diagrid, CEO
Yaron Schneider, Diagrid, Co-Founder / CTO


As developers push the boundaries of AI-driven automation, the challenge of orchestrating and managing autonomous agents at scale becomes increasingly complex. Dapr Agents is an open-source framework that dramatically lowers the creation of production ready agentic systems, powered by the CNCF Dapr's (dapr.io) distributed application runtime, used by thousands of enterprises today in mission critical services. By combining LLM-driven reasoning with Dapr’s virtual actor model, pub/sub messaging, and stateful workflows, Dapr Agents enables developers to build intelligent, scalable, and fault-tolerant multi-agent systems.

This talk will provide a deep dive into Dapr Agents, demonstrating how it facilitates structured LLM interactions, tool selection, memory retention, and event-driven communication. We'll explore practical use cases, from task automation to collaborative agentic workflows, and discuss best practices for designing real world, robust agent-based architectures. We will also compare different agentic frameworks in use today and show how many of them only address a few of the requirements needed to go into production environments. Attendees will gain hands-on insights into implementing Dapr Agents for real-world applications, optimizing performance, and seamlessly integrating with existing cloud-native infrastructures.

If you're interested in building intelligent, scalable, and resilient agentic systems, this session will equip you with the knowledge to easily build these.

Thursday May 29, 2025 9:30am - 12:00pm PDT
9:00 AM - 9:30 AM Welcome + Networking (Breakfast) 

9:30 AM - 10:20 AM - Panel 1: Be Where the Developers Are
Developers often rely on one another to help evaluate new technologies, dev tooling, and programming ideas. How can marketing teams engage in these conversations without being perceived as invading their space? Our panelists will discuss their tactics for finding where developers share their knowledge and their tactics for supporting and informing these conversations.

10:20 AM - 10:30 AM - Break

10:30 AM - 11:20 AM - Panel 2: Building a Developer Community
We often speak of the “Developer community” as if it’s a homogenous group of technical experts. In reality, it’s a collection of various communities consisting of unique individuals with differing experiences and skillsets - some of whom never cross paths with one another. Dev marketing teams dream of tapping into these communities by building a subset of developers devoted to their products and services, but often struggle to break through. Our panelists will explore how they have encouraged community among their developer audiences, the benefits it has brought for their organization, and the support these communities provide to the technical practitioners who belong to and engage deeply with them.

PRO Session: What’s Different About LLM Applications
Thursday May 29, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PDT
Nuno Campos, LangChain, Founding Engineer

This talk identifies the three key things that make LLM applications different from previous software: latency, versatility and flakiness. LLMs are orders of magnitude slower than we were used to. The outputs of LLM apps are also more variable, and prone to mistakes. And LLM apps can be taken by users into domains we the creators didn’t necessarily program into them or expect. I’ll show how we can use these 3 qualities to our advantage, by learning to work with them, and so use them to build things that were simply impossible before.

OPEN Session: So You Want to Hire for Platform Engineering?
Thursday May 29, 2025 10:30am - 10:55am PDT
Hazel Weakly, Nivenly Foundation, Fellow

I see you want to hire a developer to work on platform engineering, internal developer tooling, developer experience, and the overall generally intangible but admirable goal of "making life better for devs". That’s awesome; you've got one hell of a challenge ahead of you. This role is extremely difficult to hire for. In my opinion, and in my experience, it’s been the most difficult role in the company outside of senior leadership, and the most likely to fail; if there ever was a role that burns people out, it’s this one.

Come with Hazel as we draw on her experiences building platform teams and organizations in order to talk about making this platform engineering thing a reality. In doing so, we'll end up discussing topics such as

- The hiring pipeline and interview loop
- Timing, politics, and the meta strategies
- Getting to zero from negative
- Avoiding pitfalls

OPEN Session: AI Coding Agents: Three Keys to Successfully Scaling in the Enterprise
Thursday May 29, 2025 11:00am - 11:25am PDT
Rob Whiteley, Coder, CEO

With great power comes great responsibility—and yes, coding agents can backfire if they’re not thoughtfully deployed. Instead of boosting productivity, they can frustrate developers, slow down progress, and even diminish your competitive edge.

Join Coder CEO, Rob Whiteley, as he unpacks three essential strategies organizations should embrace when scaling agentic coding agents enterprise-wide. Drawing from firsthand lessons and internal experiments—where agents effectively resolved nearly half the tasks we threw at them—we’ll share real-world scenarios showcasing engineering work AI agents excelled at. We’ll also highlight where they fell short, detailing what went wrong and what we’d do
differently next time.

You’ll walk away understanding:

* How realistic expectations ensure AI boosts rather than hinders productivity.
* Why effective human-agent collaboration is critical for developer satisfaction and innovation.
* How clear governance frameworks can prevent technical debt and keep productivity flowing.

Learn from our experiences and ensure your organization’s deployment of AI coding agents empowers your developers, ignites innovation, and solidifies your market leadership.

Moderator: Katie Wasilenko Miller, Developer Marketing Advisor

AI dominates every technical conversation. As models improve, many technical teams are adopting AI as a coding assistant and, in some limited cases, as replacements for full time developers and technical staff. Vibe coding is replacing old fashioned GUI-style drag and drop low/no code systems. AI/ML models are improving in their ability to identify network anomalies, with some models capable of responding without human assistance. Chat interfaces make it easier for business executives to ask questions of their complex data, potentially reducing the need for on-staff analysts.

In this panel, we'll talk with industry leaders about their plans to integrate AI into their workflows and how they believe these decisions will impact their hiring strategies throughout 2025-2026.

John McBride, Zuplo, Staff Engineer

In 2025, one of your fastest growing user bases will be AI Agents. They will autonomously interact with your system to extract data and perform operations. For some companies - this is a threat that needs to be controlled. For others, its an opportunity to allow customers to interact with your systems in a novel way.

In either case - you need to govern how agents interact with your fintech - you need APIs. APIs will determine what resources AI has access to, how it can access that data, and what it can do with it. Your API needs to be understandable by agents, have enough features so they can accomplish their tasks, and robust enough to handle automated traffic at scale.

In this workshop, Adrian will walk through how to build and manage AI Agent ready APIs.

Thursday May 29, 2025 1:30pm - 1:55pm PDT
Tanush Sharanarthi, IBM, Staff Software Engineer

AI-powered coding assistants like GitHub Copilot have changed how developers write code, but what if AI could go beyond assisting and work together as a team? This talk explores the potential of multi-agent AI systems, where different AI agents take on specialized roles—one writing code, another reviewing it, a third optimizing performance, and another refactoring—to collaboratively build and maintain software with minimal human input. We’ll dive into real-world applications, emerging research, and the challenges of AI-driven development, from debugging AI-generated code to ensuring reliability. Attendees will gain insight into the future of AI-powered software engineering, whether AI can function as independent development teams, and what this means for the role of human engineers.

PRO Session: Decoding Enterprise AI for Devs: Choosing Between Private LLMs and Public Generative AI Services
Thursday May 29, 2025 2:00pm - 2:25pm PDT
Shomron Jacob, Iterate.aiHead of Applied Machine Learning & Platform

This AIDev Summit session will navigate an increasingly pivotal crossroads: the decision between investing in proprietary, custom-tailored Large Language Models (LLM) or capitalizing on the versatility and ease of public generative AI services.

The session will begin by demystifying the complexities of private LLMs. With domain-specific capabilities and enhanced data security, these models have faster customization and compliance with industry-specific regulations. Yet, they also pose challenges: a bigger investment, infrastructure requirements, and ongoing maintenance. These elements necessitate a thorough examination.

Next, the session will scrutinize public generative AI services, exploring the inherent benefits of these ready-to-use solutions. With their scalability, diverse applications, and lower upfront costs, they hold significant appeal. But they also come with their own set of considerations, such as data privacy, standardized performance, and reduced control over the model’s behavior.
With real-world examples, we will walk through how various organizations have approached this decision, the results they achieved, and the invaluable lessons learned.

The session will then go into a decision-making framework, with the purpose of enabling attendees to assess their options between private LLMs and public generative AI services more effectively.
