Agent-to-Agent (A2A) Protocol: Building Autonomous Networks

Are you ready to look beyond traditional APIs and step into the era of autonomous systems? Join us for an intensive, hands-on workshop exploring the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) Protocol—the communication standard enabling AI agents to discover, negotiate, and collaborate with one another seamlessly. As artificial intelligence shifts from standalone chatbots to proactive, goal-driven agents, the ability for these systems to talk to each other securely and efficiently is the next massive frontier in tech. What You Will Learn The Core Architecture: Understand how the A2A protocol standardizes agent discovery, capability handshakes, and secure message payloads. Autonomous Collaboration: Learn how to design multi-agent workflows where agents autonomously delegate tasks, share context, and resolve conflicts. Security & Trust: Explore authentication models, permission scopes, and guardrails necessary for safe agentic interaction. Hands-On Build: Walk through a live coding demonstration setting up two independent AI agents communicating via A2A to solve a complex multi-step workflow. Who Should Attend AI/ML Engineers & Developers looking to build or integrate agentic workflows. Backend Architects interested in the future of microservices and autonomous machine communication. Tech Enthusiasts & Founders eager to stay ahead of the curve in decentralized AI ecosystems. Workshop Details & Prereqs Prerequisites: Basic familiarity with Python and conceptual understanding of REST APIs or LLM function-calling. Bring your laptop for the interactive sections! Format: 2 hours (1 hour deep-dive talk + 44 minutes hands-on lab + Q&A).
