Hack Day: Context Graphs for Multi-Agent AI
Please make sure to register with the AWS Builder Loft - http://www.cvent.com/d/13q98r to access the AWS Build Loft the day of.
Get ready for a hands-on deep dive into autonomous systems with context graphs. When implemented right, it's an integral part of AI’s trillion-dollar opportunity.
This Neo4j + AWS Strands Hack Day is designed to take you from architectural concepts to smart agents. We’ll kick things off with a presentation on the Neo4j Context Graph—a specialized knowledge graph that captures not just your data, but the reasoning, precedents, and "decision traces" behind every AI action. You’ll see how this graph acts as a shared memory for agents built on AWS Strands, the model-driven SDK that orchestrates multi-agent workflows across the AWS ecosystem. After the tech briefing, the floor is yours: use create-context-graph and build agents that can navigate complex relationships and business decisions with accuracy.
What to expect
Get expert insights and real-world advice. Three focused hours of coding. One room full of builders. Zero fluff. As many demos as we can fit in.
Join us for a Hack Day at the AWS Builder Loft. Show up with an idea, find a team (or go solo), and spend a few intense hours building. Then demo what you’ve created before the night ends.

What You Need to Bring
Your laptop
An idea, or the willingness to find one there
A bias toward shipping
Food will be handled. The space is handled. You just need to show up ready to build.
Who Should Come?
This is for developers, founders, technical operators, and AI-native product people who like building in the same room as other ambitious people. All skill levels are welcome as long as you're ready to participate.
