About this event
Agentic AI is moving from demos and theory into the messy reality of operations. This workshop is for people who want to understand what autonomous systems can actually do inside real teams, where workflows are complex, stakes are high, and results matter more than hype. If you work close to process, tooling, execution, or decision-making, this is a chance to get in the room with others thinking seriously about practical AI adoption. Expect a focused, in-person session in San Francisco built around concrete use cases, operational constraints, and honest discussion about where agentic systems create leverage. About the Event This in-person workshop is centered on one question: how do you apply agentic AI to real operations in a way that is useful, reliable, and worth the effort? Rather than treating autonomy as an abstract concept, the event is designed to look at where agents fit into actual business workflows, internal systems, and day-to-day execution. The emphasis is on practical understanding. That means looking beyond surface-level automation and into how agentic systems can plan, take action, handle context, and support teams across recurring operational work. It is as much about identifying the right use cases as it is about understanding the limitations. Because the event is in person, the format also creates space for stronger conversation than a webinar or panel typically allows. You will be able to compare notes with other operators, builders, and AI-focused professionals who are all trying to answer similar questions from different angles. Whether you are early in your thinking or already experimenting with AI inside your organization, the workshop is structured to help you sharpen your perspective and leave with a clearer sense of what is realistic now. What to Expect You can expect a workshop-style experience rather than a passive presentation. The goal is to help attendees engage with the topic actively, discuss concrete scenarios, and leave with a stronger operational lens on agentic AI. The session will likely focus on themes such as: Where agentic AI fits best in operational environments How autonomy differs from simple automation in practice What makes a workflow a good candidate for AI agents Common operational risks and constraints, including reliability, oversight, and process design How teams can think about implementation without overcommitting to unrealistic expectations There will also be value in the room itself. This event brings together people interested in AI, autonomy, and operational execution, so part of the experience is hearing how others are framing the same challenges. Informal discussion and networking can be just as useful as the structured portions of the workshop. Because this is about real operations, expect the conversation to stay grounded. The most useful sessions on this topic do not just ask what AI can do in theory; they ask what can be deployed, monitored, improved, and trusted in live environments. Why Attend If you are trying to make sense of the current wave of agentic AI tools, this workshop offers a practical filter. It helps separate interesting ideas from operationally viable ones, which is often the difference between experimentation that teaches you something and experimentation that wastes time. You should come if you want to think more clearly about questions like: Which workflows benefit from agent-like behavior, and which do not? How much autonomy is actually useful in an operational setting? What role should humans play in review, escalation, and control? How do you evaluate success beyond novelty? There is also strong value in meeting others working through similar problems. If you are building, evaluating, or adopting AI systems, being in the same room with peers can accelerate your thinking far more quickly than working in isolation. Most importantly, this event is for people who care about application, not just awareness. You should leave with better questions, clearer mental models, and more confidence about where agentic AI may fit into your work. Practical Details Location: In person in San Francisco, USA. This is a face-to-face event designed for live participation, discussion, and networking. Date and time: Wednesday, October 22 at 2:00 PM PDT. If you are local to the Bay Area or planning to be in San Francisco, this is a strong opportunity to spend time with a community focused on AI, autonomy, and real-world implementation. In-person events tend to create more useful conversations, especially on a topic where nuance, tradeoffs, and practical examples matter. Plan to arrive ready to engage. This is a good fit for attendees who want to listen carefully, ask specific questions, compare approaches with peers, and think seriously about how agentic AI can support operational work today.
Who should attend
This is for people who want a more practical, operations-focused understanding of agentic AI and prefer real discussion over abstract trend talk. - You work in **operations, systems, workflow design, or process improvement** and want to understand where autonomous AI can create measurable value. - You are a **product, engineering, or AI practitioner** exploring how agents might fit into internal tools, team workflows, or execution-heavy environments. - You are responsible for **evaluating new technology** and need a clearer framework for deciding what is useful, what is risky, and what is not ready. - You lead or support teams that deal with **repetitive, complex, or coordination-heavy work** and want to identify where agentic systems could reduce friction. - You are interested in **autonomy as a practical capability**, not just a concept, and want to hear how others are thinking about implementation in the real world. - You value **in-person conversation and networking** with people who care about AI adoption, operational realities, and learning from peers. If you have been looking for a room where the conversation stays grounded in execution, constraints, and actual use cases, you will likely feel at home here.
