Tech Talk: Guardrails to OpenClaw
Speaker: Titus Capilnean (Civic)
Abstract: AI agents can now call APIs, execute workflows, and take real actions across your stack. Projects like OpenClaw show how quickly autonomous agents are becoming powerful system operators. But most agent systems still lack one critical layer: granular authorization. We’ll explore why unrestricted agents create new security challenges for developers and demo how to add guardrails to OpenClaw.

Tech Talk: The Convergence of Real-Time Data and AI
Speaker: Peter Corless (Redpanda)
Abstract: The world of AI has its origins in batch processing of large data sets. In more recent years it has had to accelerate to faster and faster development cycles — feedback from real-time usage, RAG and MCP architectures for live data lookups. What's driving the convergence of AI and real-time data? And how can you ride the wave?
