Smarter Days Ahead: Real-Life Applications of Gemini 3	Session: Opening Keynote \| Speaker: Freilla Mae Espinola, Executive Director & Board Member at Python Asia Organization \| About: Artificial intelligence is becoming part of everyday life, not just as a tool, but as something that can support how we think, work, and solve problems. In Smarter Days Ahead: Real-Life Applications of Gemini 3, this keynote explores how Google’s latest AI model can be applied in practical and meaningful ways. Through relatable examples and live demonstrations, this session will show how Gemini 3 can help simplify tasks, organize information, generate ideas, and support everyday decision making. From work and learning to personal productivity, the focus is on small and useful applications that create real impact. This talk is for anyone who wants to better understand how to use artificial intelligence in a way that feels natural, helpful, and relevant to daily life.

Break	Snack break. Preparing for break room sessions.
Building and Deploying Multi-Agent System	Session: Codelab Tech Track, laptop needed \| Speaker: Ralph Vincent Regalado, Chief Scientist & Head of AI at Kollab and GDE Machine Learning \| About: This session covers the construction and orchestration of multi-agent systems using the Agent Development Kit (ADK) and Agent Engine. It includes a code walkthrough focused on defining agent interactions and deploying the full architecture to a managed cloud environment.
Building Your AI Agent to automate your workflow using Google AI Studio	Session: Workshop Non-tech Track, laptop needed \| Speaker: Kevin Aton, UX Engineer \| About: Ever wished you had a personal assistant to handle your repetitive daily tasks? In this hands-on session, you will learn how to use Google AI Studio to build a custom AI assistant that goes beyond simple chat and actually gets work done. We’ll demonstrate how to teach an AI to understand your natural language, organize your data, and automate workflows like tracking expenses or generating reports. While we use personal finance to show what’s possible, the techniques you’ll learn are a "universal remote" for your productivity—perfect for students, teachers, and business owners looking to automate their own school projects, classroom management, or office operations. You’ll walk away with a clear framework to design, instruct, and deploy an AI assistant that simplifies your life and saves you hours of manual work.
Lunch	Lunch break. Back to Main Hall (Function Hall A).
Bringing AI to Your Command Line: Hands-on with Gemini CLI	Session: Codelab Tech Track Track, laptop needed \| Speaker: Sermil Matoto, Chief Engineer at Kollab and GDE for Google Cloud \| About: This hands-on session introduces participants to the Gemini CLI, an open-source command-line tool that brings the power of Google’s Gemini models directly into the terminal. Attendees will learn how to install and configure the CLI, explore its built-in tools, and integrate it with external systems using Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. The session covers practical use cases such as code generation, documentation, file management, and task automation all using natural language commands. By the end, participants will understand how to leverage Gemini CLI to boost productivity, streamline workflows, and apply AI assistance effectively in both developer and non-developer scenarios."
