GROUP DISCUSSION: Beyond the AI Hype... What Are Builders Actually Deploying on AWS?

Everyone is talking about AI, agents, and the future of software. But what’s actually working in the real world? Join us for an interactive roundtable discussion with fellow AWS builders, architects, and engineers as we share experiences from the trenches. We’ll discuss what we are actually deploying today: LLM applications, agent architectures, RAG, Amazon Bedrock, security and governance challenges, cost surprises, observability, and the engineering lessons learned along the way. This won’t be a slide-heavy presentation or a vendor pitch. It’s an opportunity to have an honest conversation with peers, ask questions, share wins and failures, and learn how others are navigating the rapidly evolving AI landscape on AWS. Come with your experiences, your questions, and your curiosity. New location: Guidewire is located right next to the Caltrain station in Hillsdale - making it easy for commuters who want to take a break. 6:00 - Doors open. Check in and refreshments. 6:15 - Start round table - John Varghese.
