/ About this event

AI agents are only as capable as the systems they can safely reach.

​Join Open Future Forum during SFTechWeek for a practical, developer-focused conversation about the integration layer behind production-ready agents, the protocols, connectors, identity systems, and infrastructure that turn an AI model into software that can take meaningful action.

​We’ll look beyond agent demos and explore the hard engineering questions teams face when connecting agents to real tools, data, APIs, and business systems.

​Topics will include:

​- MCP and emerging standards for agent-to-tool communication - Connectors, APIs, and the growing agent integration ecosystem - Authentication, authorization, identity, permissions, and consent - Reliability, observability, security, and human-in-the-loop controls - What developers should build, buy, or standardize as the stack evolves

​This session is for AI engineers, platform and infrastructure teams, API builders, technical founders, developer-tool leaders, and anyone building agents that need to operate safely in the real world.

​Come ready for a candid technical discussion and connections with others building the next layer of agent infrastructure.
