Above the Clouds: Building Enterprise AI with AWS

Above the Clouds: Building Enterprise AI with AWS

AI is changing both what we build and what it means to be a developer. What should we learn, where does our judgement matter most, and how do we turn promising agents into systems we’re comfortable putting into production?

Join us at AWS for an evening that starts with the developer and moves into the systems we build: adapting to AI, evaluating agents, and shipping them into the real world.

Speakers

🎤 Julian Wood, Principal Developer Advocate, AWSAn opening keynote on becoming a modern, Renaissance developer: evolving your skills and approach to make the most of AI, with a positive perspective on what it means for your work and career.

🧠 Neha Narwal, Senior Applied Scientist, AWS AIAgent Evaluation Framework: Measuring Non-Deterministic Systems at ScaleHow do you test an agent when it can take different valid paths to the same result? Neha explores evaluation frameworks for multi-turn, stateful systems, including LLM judges, simulated environments and production guardrails, drawing on lessons from building agentic systems at Amazon.

🛠 Babs Khalidson, Forward Deployed ML Engineer, AWSYour AI Agent Works. Now What?Getting an agent to complete a task is one thing. Giving it access to real systems is another. Drawing on work with Trainline, Experian and AppsFlyer, Babs covers tools, guardrails, human control, evaluations and deployment, finishing with a practical checklist for shipping.
