Microsoft Foundry and Microsoft Agent Framework represent the next evolution of AI development on Azure. It marks a major leap forward in how developers can design and orchestrate AI Agents and full agentic systems.

While Semantic Kernel gave us planners, memory, and connectors to bootstrap LLM-powered apps, the Agent Framework builds on those foundations to deliver a platform purpose-built for agent-based development.

By the end of the talk, you’ll understand how to create agentic solutions that not only think but act. Leave knowing how Microsoft Foundry brings the entire lifecycle together for discovery, configuration, deployment, and monitoring. This session will help you level up to true agentic design on Azure and .NET.
