About this event
Production-focused GenAI Montréal meetup at ConFoo edition exploring how to orchestrate agentic AI in production, with a multi-community breakout format that brings together Montréal's Java, Cloud-Native, AI, and CTO communities for one shared evening before diving into focused tracks. The session emphasizes what actually works in production when building agentic systems: architecture, routing, and understanding the limits of your AI.
What to expect:
- A multi-community format that fosters cross-pollination between developers, operators, and architects
- Parallel breakout tracks: MTL JUG, CNCF Montréal, GenAI Montréal, MTL CTO
- Real-world talks on agentic systems, routing patterns, and production guardrails
- Practical guidance on building resilient agentic workflows, from embeddings to expert routing
- Sponsor insights from AWS and MySQL, with opportunities to connect with peers and maintainers
Schedule overview:
- 5:00 PM – Welcome, Beer & Pizza, casual networking (Saint-Laurent 1)
- 5:30 PM – Opening & Introductions (Saint-Laurent 1)
- 5:45 PM – Community Breakouts Begin (Saint-Laurent 1, 4, 5, 6)
- GenAI Montréal Track (Saint-Laurent 5) featuring:
- Speaker: Nicholas Nadeau, Cofounder, Onix; Ph.D. in Robotics & AI
- Talk: Agentic AI Is a Routing Problem, Not an Intelligence Problem — routing as core primitive, expertise graphs, embeddings, and the “know your limits” pattern
- Speaker: Andres Ortega, Data Scientist → Full-Stack Developer → Kubernetes Engineer
- Talk: Securing AI Workloads — current and future security challenges, including prompt injection and supply-chain integrity
Who should attend:
- AI engineers, ML practitioners, software developers exploring agentic systems
- Architects and tech leads building GenAI beyond demos
- Researchers interested in human–AI collaboration
