Microsoft Agent Framework: Build, Orchestrate, and Scale AI Agents for the Enterprise
Modern AI development is about building reliable, scalable agentic applications that deliver real value. This session introduces the open-source Microsoft Agent Framework, now in public preview, and shows how teams use it to design, test, and deploy AI agents with enterprise-grade stability and security. You’ll see how it unifies tools like Semantic Kernel and Autogen, supports Python and .NET, and integrates with Azure Foundry, OpenAI, and other providers. Learn how to move from fragmented solutions to a streamlined, production-ready approach that supports advanced workflows, multi-agent orchestration, and seamless integration with your existing cloud and DevOps stack.

What you will learn
• How to build and run AI agents using the Microsoft Agent Framework
• Best practices for designing agent workflows, memory, and human-in-the-loop scenarios
• How to integrate with Azure Foundry, OpenAI, and other model providers
• Practical examples of deploying, monitoring, and scaling agents in production
• How to use open protocols and tools like AGY and ChatKit for rich, interactive AI experiences

Who this is for
This session is designed for developers, architects, and AI leads who:
• Build or plan to build AI-powered applications or agentic workflows
• Use Python, .NET, Azure, or OpenAI in their stack
• Want to simplify agent development and deployment
• Care about security, observability, and developer productivity in AI solutions
