AI agents are transforming how developers build software—but shipping production-grade agents demands more. This session walks through the end-to-end lifecycle of building AI agents with Foundry Agent Service and Microsoft Agent Framework. See how to go from local prototyping to enterprise-grade hosted deployment with identity, secure networking, evaluations, and lifecycle management. Learn how coding agents like GitHub Copilot integrate directly into the workflow.
Seating for this session is first-come, first-served. Add it to your schedule to plan your day and arrive early to secure a spot.
