Mini-Workshops 2025
A to Z of Building AI Agents - {MongoDB}
In this 2 hour workshop, participants will build an agentic learning assistant that helps them learn about certain topics by answering questions and summarizing relevant articles. We will use MongoDB as the agent's memory and knowledge store, open-source LLMs as the agent’s “brain”, and LangGraph to orchestrate the end-to-end agentic workflow.
Building with Google AI Studio, Gemini API and Gemma - {Google Deep Mind}
Learn to build AI applications with Google AI Studio, Gemini API, and Gemma in this hands-on workshop. Led by Google DeepMind experts, you'll explore best practices and practical implementations to accelerate your AI projects.
Ten Product Management Lessons in Deploying Enterprise Gen AI - {DS Dojo}
This short workshop is designed for anyone considering building LLM products from scratch. At the end of this workshop, the participants will have a solid understanding of the end-to-end lifecycle of an enterprise LLM application and the challenges they will face during the product development process.

Mastering AI Agents
Hamza Farooq - Founder - Traversaal.ai/ex-Google
This workshop provides a comprehensive understanding of designing and building AI agents from the ground up. Instead of relying on pre-built frameworks like CrewAI or Autogen, participants will learn the core mechanics of agent development to create fully customizable solutions. By the end, attendees will have the tools and knowledge to build robust, scalable, and production-grade AI agents tailored to their needs.
Optimizing Enterprise RAG Systems
Trey Grainger - Author - AI-Powered Search
RAG systems will be a mainstay in every enterprise. Tuning a RAG systems involves deep knowledge of both vector and traditional keyword search, coupled with efficient context management strategies for LLMs. This entire equation becomes more complicated when multiple modalities of data enter the equation.
