DESCRIPTION:Agentic AI is the future: AI that doesn't just answer\, but act
 s autonomously\, reasons step-by-step\, uses tools dynamically\, and deliv
 ers real results with little human help.\n\nWhy Agentic AI matters: it tur
 ns complex tasks into automated workflows\, data processing\, orchestratio
 n\, and beyond\, shifting AI from chat to action. Drawing from real implem
 entations\, you'll discover:\n\n· Simple\, reliable patterns (like struct
 ured server-client-database setups) that enable maintainable agent communi
 cation and state handling.\n\n· Strands Agents is an open-source\, model-
 agnostic SDK that lets you build powerful agents with minimal code: custom
  tools\, reasoning loops\, multi-step autonomy\, all in Python.\n\n· This
  hands-on talk demystifies tool use\, planning\, reflection\, and true ind
 ependence\, and shows you how to quickly prototype your first agent. Perfe
 ct for CS\, data science\, and engineering students ready to create innova
 tive projects in automation\, analysis\, or beyond.\n\nWhy attend? Agentic
  AI is reshaping intelligent systems right now. Leave inspired and ready t
 o build your own autonomous agent today.\n\nSpeaker(s): Mr. Anil Malakar\n
