SUMMARY:2x Talks: The Truth Paradox\, and Secure MCPs by design
LOCATION:Arinco
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 34% · why: lots of
  people going\n\nWe are excited to host Kirtika and Randi this month. Kirt
 ika will show us how we can be confident our AI is telling the truth\, and
  Randi is going to show us all the ways we can build secure MCPs!\n\nLive 
 Stream: We're going LIVE on YouTube. If you haven't been able to join us i
 n-person\, you can still jump on now to watch (link will be published on t
 he night).\n\nAgenda:\n\n5:30pm arrival - Food and drinks provided in-pers
 on\n6pm kickoff - Welcome & Introduction and few words from our Sponsors -
  10 min\n6:10pm - Session 1\n6.45pm - Session 2\n\nSession 1: The Truth Pa
 radox: Why Your AI Might Be Confidently Wrong (And What To Do About It) by
  Kirtika Sharma\n\nAI gives you answers with total confidence — but confid
 ence isn't the same as correctness. In this interactive session\, I'll ope
 n with a live "gotcha" that tricks the room into almost believing a fabric
 ated fact\, then unpack exactly why AI does the same thing to all of us\, 
 every day. We'll play a quick prediction game to demystify how AI actually
  generates answers\, tour a "Hallucination Gallery" of real AI failure pat
 terns\, and walk away with 3 simple\, memorable rules for using AI safely 
 — whether you're shipping code\, writing docs\, or just asking it question
 s at work. Practical\, a little provocative\, and genuinely interactive — 
 bring your voice\, you'll be shouting out answers.\n\nSession 2: Secure by
  Design: Building Production-Ready MCP Servers by Randi Ratnayake\n\nBuild
 ing an MCP server is easy. Building one that is secure\, production ready\
 , and designed for enterprise applications is a very different challenge.\
 n\nIn this session\, we'll start by looking under the hood to understand h
 ow the Model Context Protocol actually works. We'll unpack the protocol\, 
 explore what the client libraries abstract away\, and see how tools are di
 scovered\, invoked\, and secured. Understanding these fundamentals is key 
 to building MCP servers that are secure by design.\n\nFrom there\, we'll i
 mplement authentication using OAuth 2.0\, Microsoft Entra ID\, and the On-
 Behalf-Of flow\, while covering common security pitfalls and production be
 st practices. Although the concepts and architecture are language agnostic
 \, all demonstrations and code examples will be implemented in .NET.\n\nWh
 ether you're building AI agents for internal tools or enterprise platforms
 \, you'll leave with a solid understanding of MCP under the hood and the p
 ractical knowledge to build secure\, production-ready MCP servers with con
 fidence.\n\nHosts:\n\nWilliam Liebenberg - Microsoft .NET MVP | Consultant
