Welcome Address


9:15AM - 10:00AM

Taking GenAI from Paper to Production with Serverless:

Start your journey into the world of Serverless and GenAI with this foundational session. Through a real-world application example, discover why serverless is the ideal architecture for GenAI workloads, offering superior scalability and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional infrastructure approaches. This practical demonstration will lay the groundwork for understanding how modern AI applications can be built and deployed efficiently, setting you up for deeper exploration throughout the day.

10:00AM - 10:45aM

Patterns to Automatically Scale your GenAI Solutions with Serverless

Explore proven serverless and event-driven architectural patterns that power modern GenAI solutions on AWS. This presentation unveils how to build efficient, scalable GenAI applications while optimizing for cost and performance. We'll examine diverse architectural approaches for different business scenarios, from real-time processing to batch operations. Through practical examples, learn to leverage Serverless capabilities on AWS to handle varying workloads and integrate GenAI seamlessly into your applications. We will look at how you can build robust, reliable, and scalable AI applications that can automatically handle a proof-of-concept to production with services such as AWS Lambda, AWS Step Functions, Amazon SQS, Amazon EventBridge, and more.

10:45AM - 11:00AM

Break


11:00AM - 11:45AM

Prototype your Generative AI Apps with Serverless

Building on the concepts and patterns covered in earlier sessions, this demonstration shows how to implement these capabilities in practice. Watch as we prototype a GenAI application using Serverless architecture on AWS. Attendees will see the full development workflow unfold - from initial setup through deployment - including how to efficiently add new features to the application.

11:45AM - 12:15PM

Introduction to Agentic AI

Learn how agentic AI, Gartner's top trend for 2025, will transform your use of Large Language Models (LLMs). We'll explore implementation patterns using AWS Services. This session provides essential foundation for the hands-on workshop following in the afternoon.

12:15PM - 1:15PM

Lunch


1:15PM - 2:00PM

Show me the Numbers: Cost of Building and Operating your Applications

Now that you know how to build GenAI applications with Serverless services, the next thing to consider is cost. We walk through an example to understand how much would it would cost to set up and scale an application from a single user to multiple users as your business grows. Using the AWS Pricing Calculator, we will explore various scenarios to provide a clear understanding of your application's operational costs.

2:00PM - 4:00PM

Workshop: Building Serverless Agentic Workflows on AWS

Dive into the world of AI agents and discover how to create autonomous workflows using LLMs. This hands-on presentation demonstrates the art of building intelligent virtual assistants that can independently perform complex tasks. Learn to harness AWS Bedrock's capabilities, implement Tool Use effectively, and orchestrate workflows using Step Functions. We'll explore different agent architectures and provide clear guidance on selecting the right approach for specific use cases.
