Parti cipants will explore the fundamentals of AI agents\, understand how autono mous agents can reason\, plan\, use tools\, and perform tasks\, and gain p ractical experience in developing their own AI agents.\n\nDay 1 emphasizes experiential learning\, guided demonstrations\, hands-on activities\, and experimentation with Agentic AI tools and technologies.\n\nDay 2 – Hack athon: “Build Your First AI Agent” challenges participants to apply th eir learning to develop a functional AI-agent-based solution. Teams will b uild\, experiment\, innovate\, and pitch their solutions\, encouraging cre ativity\, problem-solving\, collaboration\, and rapid prototyping.\n\nThe event aims to bridge the gap between conceptual understanding and real-wor ld implementation\, enabling participants to transform ideas into practica l Agentic AI solutions.\n\n📅 7th & 8th October 2026\n⏰ 08:30 AM – 0 4:30 PM\nTheme: Learn • Build • Experiment • Innovate • Pitch\n\nA genda: \nAGENTFORGE 2026 – Event Agenda\n\nTwo-Day Experiential Workshop & Hackathon on Agentic AI\n📅 7th & 8th October 2026 | ⏰ 08:30 AM – 04:30 PM\n🏆 Prize Pool: ₹10\,000\n\nDAY 1 – EXPLORE & BUILD\n\n7th October 2026\n\nTime Session\n08:30–09:00 AM Registration & Networking\ n09:00–09:20 AM Inauguration & Welcome\n09:20–10:00 AM Introduction to Agentic AI – Concepts\, Architecture & Applications\n10:00–10:45 AM U nderstanding AI Agents – Reasoning\, Planning\, Memory & Tool Use\n10:45 –11:00 AM Tea Break\n11:00 AM–12:00 PM Hands-on: Building Your First A I Agent\n12:00–01:00 PM Agentic AI Tools & Frameworks – Guided Demonst rations\n01:00–02:00 PM Lunch Break\n02:00–03:15 PM Experiential Lab – Build & Experiment\n03:15–03:30 PM Break\n03:30–04:15 PM From Idea to AI Agent – Problem Identification & Solution Design\n04:15–04:30 P M Hackathon Briefing & Team Formation\nDAY 2 – HACKATHON: BUILD YOUR FIR ST AI AGENT\n\n8th October 2026\n\nTime Session\n08:30–09:00 AM Hackatho n Kick-off & Challenge Brief\n09:00–11:00 AM 🚀 Build Phase – Develo p Your AI Agent\n11:00–11:15 AM Tea Break\n11:15 AM–01:00 PM Experimen t & Integrate – Tools\, APIs\, Workflows & Testing\n01:00–02:00 PM Lun ch Break\n02:00–03:00 PM Innovate & Refine – Testing\, Debugging & Fin alization\n03:00–03:30 PM Pitch Preparation & Submission\n03:30–04:15 PM 🎤 Final Pitch & Demonstration\n04:15–04:30 PM 🏆 Evaluation\, Re sults & Prize Distribution\n\nDayananda Sagar University\, Harohalli\, Ben galuru\, Karnataka\, India\, DSU Main campus LOCATION:Dayananda Sagar University\, Harohalli\, Bengaluru\, Karnataka\, I ndia\, DSU Main campus ORGANIZER:basavaraj@ieee.org SEQUENCE:18 SUMMARY:AGENTFORGE A TWO-DAY EXPERIENTIAL WORKSHOP & HACKATHON ON AGENTIC A I URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/582323 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" di r="auto" data-start="126" data-end="437"><strong data-start="126" data-end ="200">AGENTFORGE &ndash\; A Two-Day Experiential Workshop &amp\; Hackatho n on Agentic AI</strong>\, organized by the <strong data-start="219" data- end="307">Department of Computer Science &amp\; Engineering &ndash\; Data Analytics and Visualization Club</strong>\, is designed to provide partici pants with hands-on exposure to the rapidly evolving field of <strong data -start="401" data-end="436">Agentic Artificial Intelligence</strong>.</p>\ n<p dir="auto" data-start="439" data-end="760">The two-day programme focus es on <strong data-start="472" data-end="556">learning\, building\, experi menting\, innovating\, and pitching AI-powered solutions</strong>.
