AI Agents Happy Hour by Rho & Veris AI
Everyone's trying out agents, but almost no one is shipping them reliably in production. We're getting together folks from top startups, enterprises, and research organizations to talk about what actually works.
Expect a focused discussion, drinks, and real conversations.

Veris AI accelerates agent development with a simulation-first approach that delivers robust, compliant AI systems at scale. The Veris simulation platform creates on-demand custom environments where agents train on thousands of scenarios involving complex workflows, edge cases, and adversarial personas. Advanced optimization techniques such as RL improve each agent through this continuous feedback loop, enabling truly customized agents that master specific workflows, domain knowledge, and business logic.
