Agents on the Rocks: Build & Secure AI Agents Workshop
Learn to build and secure AI agents in one hands-on evening.
Agents on the Rocks brings together Manus and Straiker for a unique workshop where you'll experience both sides of agentic development: create AI agents with Manus’s platform, then immediately red team them using Straiker’s security tools.
You'll discover vulnerabilities firsthand, understand attack vectors, and learn why security testing belongs in your agent development workflow from day one.
Between sessions, enjoy curated whiskeys, signature AI-themed cocktails, and a full dinner while connecting with developers, security engineers, and founders shaping the next wave of agentic AI.
