Submissions must answer this question with concrete details drawn from:**\n* Evaluation pipelines and methods\n* Observability and tracing\n* Cost data and benchmarks\n* Re al architecture and engineering decisions\n\n### We are seeking submission s for five primary formats\n1. **Anchor talks - deep talks of 25 minutes d uration + 5 minutes Q&A**\nAnchor Talks set the intellectual frame for the day by addressing the "production gap". We are looking for CTOs or princi pal engineers with a live system to share the real architecture of a produ ction system.\n* Workflow Orchestration: Moving from standalone chatbots t o deep integration with legacy ERP/CRM systems via event-driven architectu res.\n* Sovereign & Localized AI: Architectures for air-gapped\, regulated \, or high-security environments where cloud APIs are not an option.\n**Fo cus:** What is working\, what was thrown away\, and the one decision you w ould make differently.\n**Requirement:** No slides featuring roadmaps.\n\n 2. **Live demos - 15 minutes each**\n**_These sessions are the core of the conference (30% of content) and must be genuine\, live demonstrations of production-ready AI features._** We are looking for submissions that tackl e hard technical problems\, including:\n* Agentic Systems: multi-agent wor kflows with visible execution traces\, showing failure and escalation live .\n* Evaluation in CI/CD: demonstrating an evaluation pipeline catching a real regression (e.g.\, a "harmless" prompt change breaking a faithfulness eval and blocking a CI merge).\n* Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG): l ive query across an enterprise corpus\, comparing hybrid retrieval vs. nai ve RAG\, and showing hallucination reduction as a metric.\n* Multimodal pi pelines: unifying invoices\, contracts\, and images in one retrieval syste m with sub-second query speed and live source attribution.\n* AI for devel opment: demonstrating AI code review and auto-PR workflows\, where an agen t generates tests\, documents changes\, and creates a PR with a plain-Engl ish diff explanation.\n* Judge models: a live reveal of LLM-as-a-Judge bia s (e.g.\, score flipping when answers are swapped) and the applied mitigat ion.\n* Agentic Protocols: Live implementation of communication standards to manage multi-agent handshakes and stateful memory.\n* Defensive AI in CI/CD: Automated red teaming and policy-as-code filters that block non-com pliant outputs in real-time.\n* Reliable Agent Skills: A live demo of "Too l Use" or "Function Calling" at scale—specifically how agents discover\, select\, and recover from failures across hundreds of internal APIs.\n\n* *3. Lightning talks - 12 minutes each**\nLightning talks are short\, sharp takes\, structured around one orientation slide\, then the thing itself. We are seeking practitioners who can deliver maximum insight in minimum ti me.\n**Focus areas:**\n* Architecture & governance: running a global AI pr ogram (e.g.\, GCC perspective on governance handshakes with HQ).\n* Genera lizable patterns: RAG or other patterns that generalize across enterprise client engagements (GSI perspective)\, and the ones that never do.\n* Cost reality: real inference cost data from a production workload (e.g.\, GPT- 4o vs fine-tuned SLM)\, where the audience votes before the reveal.\n* Out come Economics: Moving beyond cost-per-token to measuring the "unit econom ics" of an AI action and true business ROI.\n* Skill Composition: Patterns for building "composable" agent skills that can be reused across differen t departments without re-training or hard-coding logic.\n* Governing the A DLC: How do we handle "Pull Requests" and "Unit Tests" when the output is generated by an autonomous agent\n\n4. **Startup Showcase: A live product demo presented to a room of practitioners - strictly no pitch deck.**\n\n5 . **Birds of Feather (BOF) sessions:** If you have a hard unsolved problem \, bring it to the BOF. While the final parallel BOF rooms are set by atte ndee voting on the day\, we invite submissions for high-value discussion t opics that could cluster organically\, such as:\n* Agent systems that brok e in unexpected ways\n* Evals that are effective in production\n* Making t he CFO understand GPU costs\n* The engineering specifics of good AI govern ance\n* RAG vs. fine-tuning—the conditions that change the answer\n* Man aging Agent Sprawl: Preventing cascading logic loops in complex multi-agen t systems.\n* AI Supply Chain Security: Verifying the integrity of model w eights and data in an open-source/fine-tuned ecosystem.\n* Agent Skill Dis covery: The challenge of "Skill Sprawl"—how do agents know what tools ar e available in a massive enterprise ecosystem.\n\n### Deadline for submis sions: 9 May 2026\n\n### About the editor\nRamakrishna Reddy Yekulla (Ramk y) is a Senior Principal Product Manager at Red Hat’s data + AI group\, leading the technical strategy and operationalization of AI models. He ens ures seamless integration of AI into Red Hat’s products while managing c ompliance\, governance\, and scalability. \nA seasoned open-source contrib utor\, Ramky has worked on projects like Fedora\, Django\, GNOME\, and Glu sterFS.
