The AGI Conference Series is the global pinnacle of AGI research. Held annually for 19 years, the AGI Conference is the longest-running conference series devoted wholly to human-level general intelligence and beyond. The series is built on three pillars: Advancing the theoretical foundations of AGI Bridging isolated research communities around shared goals Addressing the societal and ethical implications of general intelligence AGI-26 brings together the foundational thinkers who shaped artificial general intelligence: the people who gave the field its vocabulary, its core debates, and its most credible paths forward. Some of our past speakers include: Yoshua Bengio, Jürgen Schmidhuber, Peter Norvig, Richard Sutton, François Chollet, Christof Koch, Michael Levin, and many more. This is a gathering of frameworks, hard-won viewpoints, and intellectual force. For one week in July, San Francisco becomes the center of the conversation that matters most for the future of intelligence. This year we’re awarding the Kurzweil Prize (best AGI idea), the AGI Society Prize (measurable progress), Springer’s best paper award, and others - because the best work deserves spotlight. Whether you’re building agents, wrestling with alignment, drawing from biology, or just trying to track how fast the frontier is actually moving, AGI-26 is where those conversations happen in one room. If you care about where this field is really headed, and want to help shape it with rigor and responsibility, this is the week that matters. If you would like to donate in stablecoins you can do so via this link: https://agi-society.org/about-agi-society/ See you in San Francisco (or online) this July.

Most AI agents do not fail because the model is weak. They fail because the context is stale, scattered, slow to retrieve, or forgotten the moment a session ends. Join us for a hands-on Redis Demo Night exploring Redis Iris —Redis’s real-time context engine for building agents that can act on fresh business data, retain useful memory, and respond within a real production latency budget. We’ll go beyond slides and show what it takes to make an agent genuinely context-aware: Fresh, navigable data: turn operational information—customers, orders, tickets, policies—into structured context that agents can discover and use. Memory that compounds: carry important facts, preferences, and decisions across conversations, sessions, and agents. Fast, cost-aware retrieval: use Redis Search and semantic caching to surface the right context quickly and avoid repeating equivalent LLM work. Expect live demos, technical walkthroughs, and an honest discussion of the hard part of agentic AI: not picking a model, but giving it the right information at the right moment. Whether you are building an AI assistant, a support copilot, a workflow agent, or a production RAG system, come see how Redis Iris helps move agents from impressive demos to dependable systems. Who should come: AI engineers, platform teams, founders, data builders, and anyone wrestling with agent memory, retrieval, or real-time context. Redis Iris combines tools for agent memory, governed context retrieval, live data integration, search, and semantic caching into a managed context layer for AI agents Food will be Provided Event Venue is at: Aspire SG-9-Assemble - Event Space (Room 12) (32) AI Tinkerers is a community for people who want to build, test, and learn with AI in the open—founders, engineers, researchers, product builders, and the simply curious. The point is hands-on exploration, honest technical conversation, and meeting others who are making things real. Redis is the company behind Redis, a high-speed in-memory data platform used to make applications feel instant. Developers use it for caching, real-time data, queues and streams, and increasingly for AI use cases such as vector search, retrieval, and maintaining fresh context for agents. It can run as open-source software, through Redis Cloud, or in enterprise environments. Aspire is a Singapore-based business finance platform for modern companies. It brings together multi-currency business accounts, international payments, corporate cards, expense controls, payables, receivables, and accounting integrations—helping startups and SMEs manage company money without stitching together separate tools.

ABOUT EVENT The co-founders of Natoma (now Snowflake ) and Trust3 AI invite you to an educational session in which you will learn how to responsibly accelerate the deployment of AI systems for your organization. Most enterprises are running 3–10× more AI agents than their teams realize. For practitioners, that means a rapidly expanding attack surface that's difficult to discover, govern, and secure. Every agent touches data, takes actions, and may operate as part of Shadow AI. The critical questions are: Which agents are running? What can they access? What are they actually doing? And who is accountable when one goes off script? This session explores how you can discover every agent running in production, secure every action those agents take on enterprise data, and responsibly accelerate AI adoption. Expect candid talks, a live end-to-end demo, and direct conversation with the people building the security and observability layer for the agentic enterprise. SPEAKERS Paresh Bhaya , Co-founder, Natoma (now Snowflake). Co-built the enterprise MCP gateway Snowflake acquired to govern how agents connect, authenticate, and act across systems. Neeraj Sabharwal , Co-founder, Trust3 AI. Helps enterprises safely scale AI adoption with strong data governance and access control. Matthew Sullivant , Head of Product, Trust3 AI. Leads AgentDOS, the control plane for discovering, observing, and securing agents across any framework and cloud. Mark Castillo , Founding AI Solutions Architect, Trust3 AI. Partners with enterprises to design and deploy agentic governance systems in production. Trust3 AI, host and live demo team. WHAT TO EXPECT 5:00 to 6:00 PM | Welcome Reception & Networking Check in, grab a drink, and enjoy light bites as guests arrive. Connect with fellow data and AI practitioners & pioneers before the program begins. 6:00 to 6:05 PM | Welcome & the Agentic Reality Check (Trust3 AI) Enterprise AI is scaling; governance isn't. A quick look at shadow AI, rogue agents, and why this lands squarely on both the security team and the AI budget. 6:05 to 6:20 PM | Securing the Agentic Enterprise (Paresh Bhaya, Natoma, now Snowflake) Governing agents that act on data across Snowflake Intelligence and Coco: the Natoma MCP gateway, identity, and purpose-bound access, built from the data layer up. 6:20 to 6:40 PM | AgentDOS: Discover, Observe, Secure (Matthew Sullivant, Trust3 AI) Finding the agents you're undercounting by 3 to 10x, tracing every prompt and tool call, token-level observability, and turning agent risk and spend into measurable AI ROI. Security doesn't stop at the MCP layer, it has to reach the data itself. A first look at the Policy Agent, Trust3's approach to fine-grained access control at the data layer. 6:40 to 7:00 PM | Live Demo: Policy Agent in Action (Trust3 AI) A live walkthrough on Snowflake: author an access policy in natural language, watch Trust3's Policy Agent generate and apply the underlying roles and grants automatically, and see that same policy govern what an agent is allowed to touch. 7:00 to 8:00 PM | Q&A + Open Networking Open Q&A with all speakers, followed by continued conversation over drinks. WHO SHOULD ATTEND Data and AI practitioners & pioneers LOCATION Snowflake Office, 135 Constitution Dr, Menlo Park, CA 94025
