The Format
One hour guided. Then we build together.

Sessions build on each other, but drop-ins are welcome. Every session is recorded and posted online.

1

Learn

One hour of guided walkthrough with live demos, real tools, and hands-on exercises. No slides-only theater.

2

Build

Two hours of open floor. Build something real, ask questions, go deeper with people in the room who can help.

3

Practice

Two weeks between sessions to explore, experiment, and come back with questions. Each session picks up where the last one left off.

Upcoming Sessions
The schedule

Start by connecting AI to the real world. Build toward agents that coordinate, transact, and prove what they did.

01
Agent First
Thursday, April 2, 2026 · 12:00 - 3:00 PM

AI gets useful when it can interact with the outside world. Tool use, function calling, MCP, and how agents talk to live APIs. Build a working agent during the session. API keys provisioned on-site via Keyfree.

Agent Coordination + Orchestration
Thursday, April 23, 2026 · 12:00 - 3:00 PM

One agent is useful. Multiple agents working together is a system. Delegation, multi-agent patterns, and what happens when agents coordinate across tasks, tools, and trust boundaries.

Multi-agent Delegation Workflows
03
Trust, Safety, and Letting Agents Spend Money
Thursday, May 7, 2026 · 12:00 - 3:00 PM

What happens when agents take irreversible actions? Build an agent that makes a real transaction, inspect the receipt chain, and see what happens when something goes wrong.

The Ecosystem
Built on real infrastructure

The tools you learn on are the same ones powering production AI agent systems. Not toy examples.

H

HLOS

Settlement control plane for AI agents. Cryptographic receipts and financial accountability.

K

Keyfree

API credential provisioning without credential exposure. Agents use capabilities, not keys.

S

STAAMPID

Independent notary and transparency layer. Verifiable proof of authorization.

D

Day Zero

Adversarial security research and live stress-testing for AI agent infrastructure.

Featured Speakers
Learn from people building the future

Each session features builders and leaders from across the AI ecosystem. Not keynotes. Working sessions where the guest is in the room, building alongside you, and available for real conversation.

What You Need
Just three things
🧠

A curious mind

No prior AI experience required. Just show up ready to learn and willing to try things.

💻

A laptop

You will be building during the session. Mac, Windows, Linux, whatever you have works.

🔌

A charger

Three hours of building drains batteries. Outlets are available but bring your own cable.
