/ About this event
💡 Overview
Going from zero to prototype with AI agents takes only a few prompts but securing, orchestrating, and scaling autonomous systems in production is where the real engineering begins.
As part of the Camp AI series, we are gathering ~25–30 technical founders, CTOs, and VP-level engineering leaders for a private happy hour and discussion in San Francisco.
Away from generic panels and crowded conference halls, this happy hour offers an informal space to exchange unvarnished war stories, production blueprints, and hard-earned lessons with peers facing the same technical hurdles.
💬 What We’ll Explore:
🛠️ From Prototype to Production: Architecture patterns, model context protocols (MCP), tool execution, and deployment loops that survive real-world traffic.
🔐 Agent Identity & Access Controls: Implementing runtime permissions, token validation, and defense-in-depth before granting autonomous agents access to sensitive data and APIs.
⚡ Reliability & Guardrails: Balancing model autonomy with human-in-the-loop oversight, fallback strategies, and deterministic testing.
📈 Scaling & Cost Optimization: Managing latency, inference costs, and observability in multi-agent workflows.
👥 Who Should Apply to Attend
- AI startup founders and co-founders
- CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and Heads of AI/ML
- Engineering leads actively deploying autonomous agents and LLM-powered infrastructure
