Agenda

3:30 AM	Registration
4:30 AM	Opening note
4:40 AM	Keynote : Decoding the Cloud: From Core Infrastructure to AI & Business Value	✨ Speaker: Sandeep Kulkarni \| Description: This talk about how to simplify complexities of Cloud , walk through how core infrastructure enables AI Capabilities and ultimately connect all this to real measurable business value.
5:10 AM	From Silos to Swarms: Shipping Multi-Agent Apps with Google’s A2A Protocol	✨ Speaker: Karthikeyan VK \| Description: Enterprises are racing to deploy specialized AI agents—but those agents can’t collaborate if every pair needs a bespoke bridge. Google’s new Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol is the open, vendor-neutral “common language” that lets agents discover each other, negotiate tasks, and work together securely. This talk demystifies the spec, shows live code, and maps A2A to real-world cloud architectures so attendees can start building interoperable agent swarms today.
5:40 AM	Break
6:00 AM	Unifying Kubernetes: Live Multi-Cloud Migration to GKE with Istio	✨ Speaker: Sayed Imran \| Description: In this talk, Sayed will demonstrate live migration to Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) from any cloud provider or on-prem environment—without downtime. Sayed will show you how to leverage Istio’s Multi-Cluster setup to securely route traffic over the internet, ensuring seamless cross-cluster connectivity and a smooth migration process.
6:30 AM	Treat Your AI Models Like You Treat Containers	✨ Speaker: Ram Iyengar \| Description: In the world of software engineering, containers have revolutionized how we build, ship, and run applications. They provide a standardized, portable, and reproducible environment, ensuring consistency from development to production. So, why aren't we applying the same rigorous and beneficial principles to our AI models? From packaging and versioning to seamless integration with your existing CI/CD pipelines, KitOps simplifies the operational overhead of MLOps. This talk will introduce KitOps, a transformational open-source tool for MLOps that allows you to do just that. Join this session to learn how to stop treating your AI models as unpredictable black boxes and start managing them with the same reliability and efficiency as your containerized applications. Discover how KitOps can help you build more robust, scalable, and reproducible AI solutions.
7:00 AM	From Pretrained to Powerful: Fine-Tune Gemma on GCP Vertex AI	✨ Speaker: Geeta Kakrani \| Description: Take your AI to the next level by fine-tuning Gemma, Google’s open-source language model, using Vertex AI on Google Cloud. This session will show you how to customize Gemma for your own data, making it smarter, faster, and more useful for your specific needs. You'll learn how to: Fine-tune Gemma easily using Vertex AI. Improve model accuracy with your own data. Deploy it at scale with Google Cloud tools"
7:30 AM	Lunch
8:30 AM	Supercharge App Dev with Gen AI - A Case Study	✨ Speaker: Sathish VJ \| Description: A case study of how Sathish used Gemini to write code that will automatically write more code based on user requests. Also it covers the security risks of such an endeavour and how Gemini and Google Cloud has tools to circumvent the risks.
9:00 AM	Building Scalable Front-End Platform With Monorepo	✨ Speaker: Achyuthan Kaniraj \| Description: Discover how a monorepo, powered by Google Cloud, acts as a core platform engineering component to standardize and accelerate the delivery of scalable front-end applications, boosting developer velocity.
9:30 AM	AI Agent (and MCP) Vulnerabilities and Security	✨ Speaker: Nikhilesh Tayal \| Description: While everyone discusses building AI Agents, few discuss the security risks involved. In fact, MCP is a security nightmare currently. Like any other IT application, AI Agents' security is also important, and we will deep dive into this. We will talk about prompt injection, jailbreaking, tool poisoning, command injection, Privilege escalation and various other techniques through which hackers can easily hack your AI Agents. Finally, we will discuss how to secure and scale our AI Agents. This would be a fun session, which will also make you think.
10:00 AM	Break
10:20 AM	The AI insider threat - detecting mitigating & simulating atttacks in GCP	✨ Speaker: SaiKrishna \| Description: Sai Krishna will share his approach to tackling insider risks in AI-enabled environments on Google Cloud.
10:50 AM	Zero Trust Architectures at Scale: Implementing Identity-Aware Proxies and Beyond on GCP	✨ Speaker: Prabhu K \| Description: Prabu will walk us through practical strategies to implement Zero Trust in the real world
