Short description

Building an interoperable connectivity layer around MCP, open standards, and reusable connectors rather than proprietary integration silos.

Full description

AI agents need access to applications, APIs, tools, and data—but rebuilding those connections inside every platform creates fragmentation, duplicated work, and long-term lock-in.

There is another path: an open integration layer built around MCP, shared standards, and reusable connectors.

Join Open Future Forum during SF TechWeek for a developer-focused discussion about the infrastructure required to make agent integrations portable, interoperable, and reusable across models, frameworks, and applications.

We’ll examine how open connectivity can give developers greater flexibility while allowing the ecosystem to build on shared interfaces instead of creating another generation of proprietary silos.

Topics will include:

Architecting an open integration layer around MCP and APIs

Reusable connectors, tool discovery, and capability schemas

Portability across models, agents, and application frameworks

Authentication, permissions, and policy without unnecessary lock-in

Open standards for context, actions, and system interoperability

Reliability, observability, governance, and production operations

Where shared infrastructure can replace duplicated integrations

This session is for AI engineers, platform teams, API builders, open-source contributors, developer-tool leaders, technical founders, and anyone shaping how agents connect to the software ecosystem.

Come meet the builders working toward an open, interoperable foundation for agent connectivity.

This event is a part of #SFTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
