Workshop 2: "Architecting Scalable AI Agent Platforms for Real-Time, Data-Driven Engagement", Prasenjeet Madare (Northeastern University). The listing gives its slot as 1:35 AM–2:20 AM. That is almost certainly 13:35–14:20, but it is recorded as given.
The speaker list has three more names with no session in the pasted schedule: Jason Haley (Azure and Angular consultant), Udaiappa Ramachandran (Microsoft MVP, AI) and Ryan Vinson. They probably ran the Workshop 2 room or sat on the Responsible AI panel. That is unconfirmed.
Threads worth following
- NANDA (Raskar, Gorskikh) is the one talk about infrastructure between agents rather than inside one: naming, discovery and trust across agents that different parties own. It is the same question Agent Identity and Attestation approaches from the compliance side: who an agent acts for, and how another party can check.
- Two vendor platforms, one day. Azure AI Foundry (Boelman) and Amazon Bedrock (Chen, Tse) each got a slot. The Bedrock talk is the only one with a named domain, healthcare, and a named model supplier, John Snow Labs.
- UX for AI apps (Platt, Rolling Thunder Computing) is the only session on the interface rather than the agent.
