As MCP and open source agentic stacks transition into production infrastructure, developers are navigating a completely new paradigm of challenges. In this fast-paced, interactive Ambassador Office Hours, newly appointed Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) Ambassadors from across the globe take the stage to share raw, unvarnished insights from the front lines of agentic AI adoption.
The Ambassador Office Hours will dive straight into the practical realities of building with AAIF projects (e.g., MCP, AGENTS.md, goose, and agentgateway), uncovering what it takes to move past basic LLM orchestration into production-ready agent environments. The ambassadors will break down their biggest learning curves, systemic integration challenges, and the architectural shifts required by the latest protocol standards.
The final half of this rapid-fire session opens the floor entirely to you for a highly interactive, crowd-sourced Q&A with the AAIF Ambassadors. Leave with actionable tactics to accelerate your own agentic roadmap.
