Hacking Agents PDX
Hey PDX AI enthusiasts! Ready to connect, learn, and have some fun? Join us for The PDX Hacking Agents meetup hosted by IBM.
Whether you're an AI developer, engineer, or just someone excited to learn more, this meetup is the perfect spot to mingle, share ideas, and geek out about all things AI.
We'll have engaging talks from speakers, plenty of time to network with fellow AI enthusiasts, and of course, some tasty light refreshments to keep the conversations flowing.
We’ll kick things off by building an AI Agent live, showcasing both an MCP server and client in action. You’ll learn what makes Agentic AI enterprise-ready, from scalability to governance, and see a real-world industry case study showing how Agentic AI is already transforming a specific vertical. Expect a fast-paced, practical, and insight-rich experience that connects the technical foundations to real business impact.
