Agentics: Use Agents Effectively

The agent conversation is getting more useful as it gets more operational. Agentics: Use Agents Effectively brings seven practitioners together for an evening focused on the parts of agent development that have to survive production: context, orchestration, SDKs, training, deployment, and improvement over time.

That shift matters. Building an agent that performs well in a controlled demonstration is different from building one that works repeatedly inside a product, a team, or a customer workflow. Reliability depends on what the system remembers, how it uses tools, how behavior is evaluated, and where human judgment remains necessary.

What the event is built around

• Context design and memory for agentic systems
• Agent SDKs, orchestration, and developer workflows
• Self-improving systems and evaluation in production
• Cloud infrastructure for training and running agents
• Practical lessons from seven practitioner talks

Who should have it on the radar

This meetup is designed for AI engineers, developer-tool founders, product leaders, technical operators, and researchers building or deploying agentic systems. MongoDB and ClickHouse are listed as sponsors, and the organizer shares the New York location with registered attendees.

What to watch

Speakers include Aloke Desai, Amol Kapoor, Danny Avila, Jack Amadeo, Jack O’Brien, Jeffrey Silver, and Qijia “Joy” Liu. Watch for the patterns that recur across different stacks. Those repeated constraints often say more about the category than another launch announcement.
