Plenary ·Agents of Tomorrow: Building the Next Generation of Intelligence
We stand at the edge of a profound shift in artificial intelligence. Over the last five years, generative AI has moved from novelty to necessity—transforming how we create, code, and collaborate. Now, a new frontier is emerging: AI agents. Unlike traditional tools that wait for instructions, agents can perceive, decide, and act toward goals—expanding the boundaries of what humans and machines can achieve together.
In this keynote, we’ll explore the evolution from copilots to fully agentic systems, highlight breakthroughs that are reshaping industries, and imagine the future horizons where autonomous agents redefine productivity, creativity, and discovery. Most importantly, we’ll discuss the role of humans in this new era—not as bystanders, but as leaders guiding how agents operate, align with our values, and amplify our potential.
The Agents of Tomorrow are here—and the future will be built by those bold enough to partner with them.

Building Production-Ready AI Agents: From Single Agents to Multi-Agent Orchestration with LangChain
Abstract
Join us for an immersive, demo-heavy session where we'll build production-ready AI agents from the ground up using LangChain, Azure OpenAI, and modern RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) techniques. This session will take you on a journey from creating your first AI agent to orchestrating complex multi-agent systems that solve real-world business problems. In this 45-minute session, you'll witness live coding demonstrations of: :hammer: Single Agent Development: Building an intelligent restaurant assistant that combines SQL database queries, document retrieval, and shopping cart integration using LangChain and Azure OpenAI :dart: RAG Implementation: Creating a robust document retrieval system with FAISS vector stores and Azure OpenAI embeddings for contextual information access :handshake: Multi-Agent Orchestration: Developing a sophisticated portfolio management system with specialized agents for research, analysis, and reporting using LangGraph :rocket: Production Deployment: Real-world considerations including memory management, tool integration, evaluation frameworks, and monitoring

Secure AI Agent Deployment: Production-Ready Docker Patterns for Healthcare Systems
In this demo, I’ll walk through a simple 2–3 agent system including and not limited to a diagnostic agent and a pharmacy agent, to show how we can apply core Docker security patterns in practice. We’ll focus on things like hardened images, resource limits, and network policies, and then wrap up with a quick attack scenario: a container escape attempt, to see how these defenses hold up.
The target audience would be beginer- intermediatory. It will be code first presentation.
I’m Alagu Prakalya P, a fellow docker captain—I architect AI pipelines, optimize LLM deployments, and push MLOps to its limits. I build, break, and scale AI systems, from fine-tuning transformers to deploying at the edge. I’ve spoken at Collabnix, diving into Kubernetes, Kafka, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation. My open-source work includes GPT-2-Tamil and fine-tuned transformers on Hugging Face. When I’m not wrangling AI, I’m deep in a chess match or off exploring new places. Find me on GitHub, Medium, or wherever YAML throws errors for no reason.

Agents as Data Engineers: Using LLMs to Query and Synthesize Scattered Service Data
For any enterprise service organization, the answers to critical questions are buried in a chaotic archipelago of disparate data sources: CRM databases, ticketing systems, application logs, and more. The real challenge isn't analysis; it's the painstaking, manual process of fetching, joining, and making sense of this scattered data. This talk demystifies this process by introducing a two-stage, multi-agentic workflow that automates data engineering and interpretation.
Stage 1: The Data Forage. We'll show how an Orchestrator Agent breaks down a high-level business question (e.g., "Analyze ticket trends for our top clients") into sub-tasks.
Stage 2: The Sense-Making Layer. Raw data is just noise. The second, and most crucial, stage involves agents designed to understand the business. We'll explore how a Business Context Agent takes the raw, structured data from the forage and applies organizational knowledge. It resolves ambiguities, understands what defines a "top client" based on database fields, maps customer_id from one system to org_id in another, and ultimately transforms the raw data into a coherent, analysis-ready dataset.

AI Agent (and MCP) Vulnerabilities and Security
While everyone discusses building AI Agents, few discuss the security risks involved.
In fact, MCP is a security nightmare currently.
Like any other IT application, AI Agents' security is also important, and we will deep dive into this.
We will talk about prompt injection, jailbreaking, tool poisoning, command injection, Privilege escalation and various other techniques through which hackers can easily hack your AI Agents.
We will also see a live demo of Jail breaking.
Finally, we will discuss how to secure and scale our AI Agents.
This would be a fun session, which will also make you think.

Shipping Reliable Agents with LangChain and LangGraph, Accelerated with langchain-gradient
Agent demos are fun, but production agents are hard. In this demo-first talk, I’ll showcase a complete agent workflow with LangChain and LangGraph, and demonstrate how langchain-gradient (a developer tool I built) enables fast iteration with just a few lines of code and flexible model choice to arrive at the best solution. We’ll walk through the open-source Product Launch Assistant that plans, researches, drafts, and reviews launch assets end to end.
What you’ll see:
- Modeling multi-node agent graphs with guards, fallbacks, and retries
- Practical tool-use patterns (web search, RAG, structured outputs)
- Implementing memory and state management
- Evaluating LLMs per task to choose the right model
- Tactics for latency control and cost visibility
Takeaways: You’ll leave with a reusable template and repo to ship agent workflows with confidence: fewer failures, faster iteration, and production-grade reliability.
