About this event
If you have been curious about AI agents but have not yet built one yourself, this is the room to be in. Hands-on Agents: From Zero to Your First Agent with Azure in One Day is designed to take you from interest to action in a single focused day, with a practical format that helps you learn by doing rather than just watching slides. You will spend the day in person in Zürich with other people who want to understand how agents work, how to get started with Azure, and how to turn ideas into something real. Expect a workshop-style meetup atmosphere: technical, social, approachable, and built around momentum. About the Event This event is a hands-on, in-person learning day centered on one clear goal: helping you build your first agent with Azure. Rather than treating agents as a vague trend, the day is framed around practical understanding, step-by-step progress, and direct application. The format is especially useful if you learn best by seeing concepts explained and then trying them immediately. You will not just hear about architectures, workflows, and possibilities in theory. The value here is in moving from zero knowledge or early knowledge toward a working first implementation. Because this is also a community meetup, the day is not only about code and tools. It is also about meeting people in the local AI and builder community who are exploring similar questions, experimenting with similar technologies, and looking for grounded ways to apply agent-based systems in real projects. Whether you are coming from software, product, data, or technical curiosity, the event is structured to make the topic feel more concrete. By the end of the day, the aim is that agents no longer feel abstract or intimidating. What to Expect Expect a day that combines explanation, guided building, and conversation. The title sets the tone clearly: from zero to your first agent in one day. That means the event is likely to move in a practical progression, starting with core concepts and then quickly shifting into implementation. You can expect the experience to include: A clear introduction to agents and how they differ from simpler AI workflows Hands-on building time focused on creating a first agent with Azure Guided learning that helps connect concepts to actual setup and execution Peer interaction and discussion with other attendees working through similar challenges Networking and social time that fits the meetup and community nature of the event The best kind of technical workshop does more than present information; it creates enough structure that you can actually make progress. This event is positioned to do exactly that. You should come ready to follow along, ask questions, compare notes, and leave with a much sharper sense of what is involved in building agents in practice. Because it is in person, there is also a major advantage that online sessions often miss: faster feedback. If you get stuck, need clarification, or want to sanity-check an idea, being in the room with other attendees makes it easier to keep moving. Why Attend AI agents are getting a lot of attention, but many people are still looking for the bridge between the hype and the actual work. This event offers that bridge. It gives you a concrete starting point, a focused environment, and a practical framework for understanding what it takes to build something useful. You should attend if you want to compress your learning curve. Instead of piecing together tutorials, examples, and scattered documentation on your own, you can spend one concentrated day learning in a sequence that is designed to help the parts connect. By attending, you can expect benefits like: A practical first step into building agents with Azure More confidence in the terminology, workflow, and implementation basics Better judgment about where agents may or may not fit in your own projects Useful conversations with people in the Zürich AI and tech community Momentum to keep building after the event instead of stopping at curiosity There is also value in being around others who are taking the topic seriously. Community events often help turn isolated interest into real progress, because you get exposure to questions, use cases, and perspectives you would not encounter alone. Practical Details This is an in-person event in Zürich, Switzerland, which makes it a strong fit for local attendees or anyone nearby who wants a full-day, face-to-face learning experience. The in-person format matters here: hands-on technical sessions are simply easier when you can interact directly, troubleshoot faster, and connect naturally with the people around you. The event takes place on Wednesday, March 18 at 9:00 AM GMT+1. Since it is framed as a one-day experience, plan your schedule so you can participate fully rather than dropping in briefly. A day like this is most valuable when you can follow the progression from the opening concepts through to the practical build work and discussions. A few things to keep in mind: Language: the session is in English Format: in person, hands-on, community meetup style Themes: AI, networking, social connection, and practical learning Best approach: come prepared to engage, ask questions, and work through exercises actively If you have been waiting for a reason to stop reading about agents and start building one, this is a strong opportunity to do exactly that in a focused, social, and practical setting.
Who should attend
This is for you if you want a practical, structured way to get started with AI agents and would benefit from building alongside other people in the room. - You are **new to AI agents** and want a clear path from basic understanding to a first working implementation without having to assemble everything yourself. - You are a **developer, engineer, or technical builder** who wants to explore how to build with Azure in a hands-on format rather than only hearing high-level theory. - You work in **product, data, innovation, or technical strategy** and want to better understand what agents can do so you can evaluate realistic use cases. - You learn best in **interactive, in-person environments** where you can ask questions, compare approaches, and make progress faster with others around you. - You are part of the **Zürich tech or AI community** and want to meet people who are actively experimenting with current tools and practical applications. - You have been following the conversation around AI agents and are ready to **move from curiosity to action** by building your first one in a focused one-day setting.
