Agentics Foundation Meetup - Stockholm

​Harness Engineering — Agentics Meetup at IBM

First we engineered prompts. Then context. In 2026 the frontier moved again — to the harness: the scaffolding of tools, memory, permissions and feedback loops that turns a model into an agent that actually ships.

Join us on September 17 at IBM in Stockholm for an evening on why "agents aren't hard, but the harness is". Two talks, pizza, drinks and good company. Doors open 17:30.

Speakers

Adam Dunkels, Founder & CEO, Groundrun
AI agents write code faster than we can trust — especially when a product spans hardware, firmware, app and cloud. Putting hardware validation inside the agentic harness lets teams move boldly, knowing the product works through every user flow.

Hussein Abdelraouf is an AI Forward Deployed Engineer at IBM, working within client development teams to architect, build, and deploy GenAI and Agentic AI applications in enterprise environments. Leveraging tools like IBM Bob, Hussein focuses on turning early technical experimentation into scalable, production-ready outcomes.

Mikael Rinne is a Founding Engineer at Ivy and maintainer of Tendril, an open-source software factory. Passionate about replacing "prompt-and-pray" coding, he builds agent harnesses with isolated environments and verification loops - bringing convenience, confidence, and good vibes to building software.

​Davlet Dzhakishev is the Founder of Cloudgeni and creator of Opengeni, an open-source agentic runtime built in Oslo. Drawing on two years of running agents against live production cloud infrastructure, Davlet will share what his team learned about the layer beneath the models: sessions, tools, permissions, memory, reliability and auditability.
