Tech Talk: Secure Tool Calling, To MCP or not to MCP
Speakers: Bryan Smoltz (Arcade)
Abstract: MCP is all the rage because enterprises want agents to do real work. But when agents do real work, Security teams get real nervous. This session will demonstrate how to connect tools to your agent and how to ensure those tools are executed efficiently, effectively and securely.

Tech Talk: Meet My Digital Twin
Speakers: Max Xiao (Oracle)
Abstract: What if you could clone yourself—not in the sci-fi way, but in code? Say hello to DMax, the autonomous digital twin of Max Xiao. Born on Jan 1, 2025 (yes, it's a Capricorn), DMax doesn’t just listen and read—it observes, reasons, writes, and even talks like the real Max. In this lively and mind-bending session, Max will introduce you to his AI alter ego and share the wild ride of raising a digital version of yourself. Think of it as a startup story… but the startup is you. 🚀🤖
