  people going\n\nRSVP\n\nRSVP on Luma: https://luma.com/vt8er50u\n\n\n\nHi
  everyone!\n\nIt's been a long time since I organized an in-person meetup\
 , so we're back with fantastic talks from the community!\n\nBeyond the hyp
 e and vendor pitches\, we want to build a space for knowledge sharing\, op
 en discussion\, and collaboration about our AI journey. Bring your questio
 ns—we'll bring ours (and we have plenty!).\n\nAgents are everywhere in the
  headlines—but what's actually under the hood\, and how do you build and s
 hip them safely?\n\nJoin us for an evening of talks exploring agentic AI\,
  from the foundations and infrastructure layers through to security\, gove
 rnance\, and real-world engineering practices.\n\nWhether you're a softwar
 e developer\, platform engineer\, cloud native practitioner\, architect\, 
 or simply curious about where AI engineering is heading\, you'll find some
 thing for you. Expect practical talks\, plenty of networking\, and a welco
 ming community of builders.\n\n📅 Event Details\n\nWhen: Tuesday\, August 1
 1\, 5:00 PM – 7:30 PM\nWhere: Microsoft Offices\, Auckland\nDoors open: 5:
 00 PM\n\n\n\nLineup\n\nAn Introduction to the new Agentic AI Foundation (L

  Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) is a neutral\, open home—hosted by the Linux
  Foundation—for the projects defining how AI agents work\, including MCP\,
  Goose\, AGENTS.md\, and AgentGateway. This talk gives a quick tour of why
  the foundation exists\, who's behind it\, and how transparent\, collabora
 tive standards are shaping the future of agentic AI.\n\n\n\nFrom Dirt to A
 gents\n\nSpeaker: Juan Pablo (JP) Vasquez\nAbstract:\nAI isn't magic\, and
  it isn't just autocomplete—it's five physical layers stacked from the gro
 und up. In 25 minutes\, we climb all five\, so you can read any AI headlin
 e and know exactly which layer it's about.\nBio:\nJP Vasquez is the founde
 r of AI Foundry\, a New Zealand sovereign AI inference provider running on
  owned hardware in Auckland\, and the authorized ANZ partner for Positron 
 AI. A 17x certified IT professional (including 2x NVIDIA)\, he brings six

 n\n\nAgent Governance Toolkit (AGT)\n\nSpeaker: Ricky Gummadi\nAbstract:\n
 Everyone can build—governance is the new bottleneck. How are you securing 
 your agents and agent orchestrations against the OWASP Agentic Top 10\, an
 d how does AGT help? A fast 15-minute look at closing the governance gap.\

 ecurity\n\nSpeaker: Andeed Ma\nAbstract:\nPrompt injection\, data leaks\, 
 and adversarial attacks—your live LLM is exposed. This session distills in
 ternational standards from dry compliance into code-review checklists and 
 deployment gates that catch LLM threats before they hit production.\n\nBio
