What exactly is agentic AI, and why is it reshaping how we think about intelligent systems?

In this introductory session, we’ll demystify the concept of agentic AI—AI systems that can reason, plan, and act autonomously within defined boundaries. Whether you're a developer, architect, or tech leader, this session will help you understand what’s possible today and how to start building agentic systems yourself.

We’ll cover:

* Understanding Agentic AI: What it is, how it differs from traditional AI, and why it matters
* Exploring the Art of the Possible: Real-world use cases and emerging patterns
* Getting Technical: Key components like orchestration, memory, planning, and grounding
* How to Get Started: Tools, frameworks (like Semantic Kernel), and practical next steps

If you're curious about the future of AI and want a clear, actionable introduction to agentic systems, this session is your launchpad.
