Join us on November 26 to dive into the best practices for building agentic AI safely and effectively with Guillaume Laforge, Developer Advocate at Google, and Maxime Appé, Manager, Product Management at Dataiku.

6:30 to 7:15 pm: Guillaume Laforge, Google AI Agents: The New Frontier for LLMs

Know your way around large language models? Mastered retrieval-augmented generation to help an LLM search your documents? It’s time to take the next step with AI agents.

In this session, you’ll learn what makes a system “agentic”, the limitations of LLMs, and how to build different types of agents in Java using LangChain4j and the Agent Development Kit (ADK). Expect practical examples of agent patterns that go beyond a simple LLM call to respond intelligently, take action, and adapt to user needs. Building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) apps is just the start. Learn what comes next with Agents.

7:15 to 8 pm: Maxime Appé, Dataiku Navigating the AI Safety Landscape: Learning from CeSIA’s Bootcamp

AI is evolving fast, and safety research is racing to keep up. In this session, we’ll break down key insights from the AI Safety Bootcamp hosted by the Centre for AI Security. We’ll explore how to navigate AI’s rapid progress, unpacking what “intelligence” or “model agency” really mean, before turning to the risks and mitigation strategies that define the AI safety landscape today.

8 - 10PM: Meet & greet with drinks

Hands-On: Prompt Engineering Online Bootcamp Date: 06 September 2025, 9 AM to 12.30 PM Eastern Time Level: Beginners/Intermediate Registration Link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hands-on-prompt-engineering-bootcamp-tickets-1443819937299?aff=oddtdtcreator Who Should Attend? This hands-on workshop is for developers, senior software engineers, IT pros, architects, IT managers, citizen developers, technology product managers, IT leaders, enterprise architects, chief analytics officers, chief information officers, chief technology officers, and decision-makers who want to learn how prompt engineering can help bring AI into next-gen apps and agents. Experience with C#, Python, or JavaScript is helpful but not required. No prior knowledge of AI is necessary. While this isn’t a data & analytics-focused session, data scientists, data stewards, and tech-savvy data protection officers will also find it super valuable. Description: The rise of generative AI, led by ChatGPT and other large language models, has sparked serious interest across industries and leadership teams. Models like OpenAI’s GPT-3.5, GPT-4o, and GPT-4.5 rely heavily on the quality of the prompts they're given. The better the prompt, the better the output. That makes prompt engineering a must-have skill. In this half-day virtual hands-on workshop, Microsoft AI and Business Applications MVP and Microsoft Certified Trainer, Prashant G Bhoyar, will cover these topics in detail:

• What is Prompt Engineering? Learn how prompts work, why they matter, and what affects their performance.
• Advanced Prompting Techniques:
• Few-shot prompting (use examples to get better answers)
• Chain-of-thought prompting (step-by-step reasoning)
• Instruction fine-tuning (force the model to follow your rules)
• Persona-based prompting (get responses in specific roles)
• Multi-step prompting (refine results through iteration)
• Debugging & Refining AI Responses
• How to fine-tune prompts for ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, and other tools
• Automating prompts with APIs and workflows
• Working with reasoning models like o3
• Best practices for real-world use

By the end of this bootcamp, you'll be ready to create clear, powerful prompts that unlock the full potential of generative AI in your projects. The labs will feature a mix of Python, C#, and low-code/no-code UI tools, so even if you don't want to write code, you're covered. Workshop Resources: You’ll get access to Microsoft Copilot, Azure, and Azure OpenAI services (worth $500) for hands-on labs. If you already have your own Microsoft Copilot or Azure subscription, you’re welcome to use that too. Attendee Workstation Requirements: You must have your own computer (Windows or Mac) with:

• Camera, speakers, microphone, and a reliable internet connection. Tablets will not work for this workshop.
• A modern browser (Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Firefox, or Safari).
• Access to www.azure.com and https://copilotstudio.microsoft.com.
• Nice to have is the ability to run C# 10 or Python code, using Visual Studio 2022, VSCode 1.66+, Visual Studio for Mac, Rider, or a similar IDE.

Session: Could a Co-Pilot be an Aircraft Co-Pilot

Welcome aboard, fellow travelers! In this talk, we’re strapping on our metaphorical aviator goggles and diving into the cockpit to explore the fascinating world of AI Co-Pilots and could they and more importantly should they be used in a real world flight deck? Buckle up, because this flight is about to get bumpy—in a purely intellectual turbulence kind of way. Using aircraft incidents and accidents we will see if an AI Co-Pilot would have saved the day... If you have a fear of flying maybe skip this one but I will say before you run out that none of the accidents are fatal so nothing to be scared of.... You don't need to be an AI specialist or even know anything about it, as we are just exploring the decisions pilots have to make in very limited timescales with limited information and throwing in some human factors to spice it up a bit. These are all good skills you can use in any decision making at work. The aim of this session is to hopefully show you that AI can help but should we use it? You will walk away knowing a bit about AI and have some fun geeking out on aviation.

Session: Device Intelligence with SLM: A Path to Edge Deployment and Cloud Integration

In today’s fast-paced tech landscape, many organisations aim to enhance device intelligence and responsiveness. This presentation highlights the crucial role of Small Language Models (SLM) in solving business problems and improving device capabilities. By fine-tuning SLM, you can achieve optimal performance and adaptability. We will compare SLM with Large Language Models (LLM), showing why SLM is better suited for organisation’s needs. The importance of customization in fine-tuning these models will be emphasized. A key focus will be on deploying these models on edge devices for real-time processing and decision-making, boosting device intelligence and positioning your organisation as an innovation leader. The presentation will provide a roadmap for implementation, from cloud development to deployment across platforms. Using Azure, organisations can ensure seamless integration and IP ownership, gaining a competitive edge.

Discover how your organisation can leverage SLM to revolutionize its devices and lead in intelligent technology.
