Tech Talk: The building blocks of full stack agentic applications
Speaker: Niels Bantilan (Union AI)
Abstract: There’s been a lot of excitement about AI agents recently, and with emerging tools like Deep Research, Claude Code, and Cursor, many organizations are investing in the development of agentic applications for their particular problem domains, from customer service to scientific research. But how does one build an AI agent, much less deploy it to production in a reliable way?
In this talk, I’ll briefly discuss when to consider building a full stack agent yourself and dive deep into the core infrastructure and software components needed to host your own LLMs, MCP server, vector store, frontend UI, and evaluation harness. Through Union, I’ll demonstrate how to orchestrate the full life cycle of an agentic app, starting from loading and caching open weights models to reasoning about evaluations.

Tech Talk: Unlock OpenAI's Efficiency for Your Business with API Management
Speaker: Ievgen Zasid (EPAM Systems)
Abstract: In this session, we’ll explore the latest AI Trends, the most pressing Challenges organizations face in AI Adoption and, we’ll tackle them together using real-world case studies centered on OpenAI and Microsoft Azure technologies. With a focus on AIOps, this session will provide practical, actionable insights into how to integrate and scale AI across Enterprise environments. Whether you're an AI/ML Engineer building LLMs, a Software Developer integrating AI into Applications, a DevOps professional managing cloud Infrastructure, a Solution Architect designing Enterprise systems, or a FinOps manager tracking AI ROI — you’ll gain valuable strategies for turning AI potential into production-ready results.
