🎤 What to Expect

6:00 PM – 6:30 PM - Arrival, Welcome & Networking Doors open! Grab your badge, enjoy initial networking, and pick up some snacks and refreshments

6:30 PM – 7:15 PM - Featured Talk: "What's Next in AI"

Speaker: Sheamus McGovern, Founder of ODSC AI, and Venture Partner/Head of AI at Cortical Ventures

​​AI is no longer just a passive tool; it’s evolving into an autonomous agent that can plan, act, and collaborate. In our talk, Sheamus will cut through the noise and explore these game-changing trends.

​​Here’s what you’ll discover:

  • ​​How agentic AI is already being used in the real world.

  • ​​Why the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is essential for unlocking new AI capabilities.

  • ​​How vibe coding is changing how we interact with AI systems.

  • Context Engineering and Physical AI

​​This isn’t a theoretical discussion—it’s a look at what’s actually happening and how it will impact you, whether you’re a founder, investor, builder, or just an enthusiast. You’ll leave with a clearer picture of the future of AI and how you can be a part of it.
