About Event

Join us at Databricks to network with top AI founders and engineers and hear from leaders at Meta, Databricks, 1Password, and You.com on how to build and scale enterprise AI agents in production.

Through a featured fireside chat and three fast-paced lightning talks, we’ll explore how search is evolving, why AI agents struggle in production, how post-training improves model performance, and what it takes to build AI systems people can trust.

Dinner will be served.

Agenda

5:00–5:30 PM · Networking & Dinner

Meet fellow AI engineers, founders, researchers, and technical leaders over dinner.

5:30–6:00 PM · Fireside Chat: From Prototype to Production: Building AI Agents People Can Trust

Nancy and Saurabh will explore how companies can move AI agents from promising prototypes into production while maintaining security, reliability, human control, and user trust.

6:00–6:30 PM · Lightning Talks

  • From Keywords to AI Agents: The Evolution of Search

    • Mariane Bekker, Head of Developer Relations, You.com
      Founder, Founders Bay

    • A fast-paced look at how search evolved from directories and keywords to semantic retrieval, generative answers, and intelligent agents—and what this shift means for developers.

  • Why AI Agents Fail in Production

    • Srivardhan Jalan
      Engineering Leader, Meta

    • An engineering-focused look at the gap between an impressive AI demo and a dependable production system, including reliability, orchestration, evaluations, and scale.

  • Beyond Pretraining: How RL and Evals Improve AI Models

    • Ryan Hu
      Applied Research, Mercor

    • Ryan will explain how reinforcement learning, evaluation systems, and high-quality training data are shaping post-training and helping models perform more reliably in real-world environments.

  • Zairah Mustahsan, Engineering Manager, You.com

  • Royston Monteiro, Engineering Leader, Meta

  • Amey Banarse, Field Engineering Leader, Databricks
