This track covers the policies, controls, and infrastructure needed to deploy AI responsibly at enterprise scale — from LLM access governance and prompt security, to the trust, permissions, and audit trails production agentic systems demand.
*For Chief AI Officers, CTOs, CDOs, and AI platform leaders*

Your API platform is either an accelerator or a bottleneck for AI adoption. There's no middle ground. This track is for teams that have migrated — or are considering it — off legacy gateways like Apigee, MuleSoft, and IBM, modernizing their API infrastructure and building the foundation that AI-powered products actually require.
*For API and platform engineering leaders*

The next generation of AI agents doesn't wait to be asked — it reacts. This track explores how event-driven architecture unlocks more capable, more responsive agentic systems — from real-time data feeds to event-native patterns for orchestrating multi-agent workflows. If your team is running Kafka, you're closer to autonomous AI than you think.
*For streaming platform leads and data engineering teams*

AI creates new revenue opportunities and new budget sinkholes — and most teams are discovering the sinkholes first. Token maxxing, AI margin erosion, and context sprawl are showing up on invoices nobody budgeted for. This track covers how to monetize agents and APIs, and how to govern token consumption before costs spiral.
*For CFOs, FinOps teams, product managers, and CTOs*

Agents don't fail at reasoning. They fail at connecting. The hard part of multi-agent systems isn't the model, the framework, or the prompt — it's the connectivity layer between agents and the enterprise context they need. This track covers how to build that layer: grounding agents in real data, enforcing identity across tool calls, and implementing MCP for enterprise interoperability.
*For principal AI engineers and platform architects*

Stop watching. Start building. Agent Stack Labs is five hands-on labs covering the agentic stack — AI gateways, agent orchestration, context retrieval, and agentic developer platforms — using Kong and the Kong ecosystem. Bring your laptop.
*For developers, platform engineers, AI engineers, and solution architects*
