Agenda

Check in

Welcome Session

Let's explore how the Shader Pipeline API on Flame transforms the visual appeal of Flutter games. Techniques such as glass and watermorphism, fog, and light reflection, along with post-processing, will be discussed.

Flutter, Games and Shaders

Coffee Break

Join us as we present Sonae MC’s evolution toward a modern and resilient SOC. We will outline the strategic vision that guided this transformation, highlight the role of Google SecOps as a key enabler, and demonstrate how it is integrated into our daily operations. We will also discuss how AI is already enhancing efficiency and strengthening our security capabilities. This session offers a clear, real-world perspective on how strategy and technology come together to advance cybersecurity.

NextGen SOC - Our walk

The implementation of Document AI-based solutions is redefining how banking institutions manage and process information. This session explores the integration of this technology into internal document management systems, highlighting how machine learning and natural language processing models enable the automatic identification, classification, and extraction of data from documents. The presentation will cover the main technical challenges of implementation, the strategies adopted and the operational gains achieved through the automation of document workflows.

Lunch

Anyone can build an agent, but building the right agent is still a challenge. Prototyping speed, deployment, and unit economics are critical. Using a real-world demo, this talk progressively walks through the lifecycle of an AI product: from leveraging Vertex AI to deploy a simple inference-as-a-service model server to building a complex multi-agent serverless architecture using ephemeral, containerized, stateless agents on Cloud Run. The talk will briefly cover concepts such as host-remote agent patterns with ADK, agent communication protocols, stateless memory management and handling known serverless bottlenecks such as cold starts, latency and concurrency. Attendees will see how agents instantiate, collaborate, and scale to zero, uncovering practical insights into building elastic, cost-efficient, event-driven AI systems in the cloud.

Agents to Zero: Experiments with Serverless Multi-Agent Architectures on GClou

AI is rapidly transforming the way we build for the web — but most developers are still stuck context-switching between browser tabs, chat interfaces, and dev tools. Chrome MCP (Model Context Protocol) changes that. It creates a secure bridge between your browser, local environment, and AI models, letting you bring AI into your workflow instead of constantly jumping out of it.
In this session, I’ll share my perspective as a an engineer currently building an AI agent at a fast-moving startup - I’ll walk through how I’ve leveraged Chrome MCP and other AI tools to completely transform my daily web development process, from automating tedious tasks, to generating production-ready code with real project context, to debugging complex browser issues with AI at my side.
Through live demos and real use cases, you’ll learn how to build custom MCP tools tailored to your own projects, and leave with actionable steps to integrate AI deeply into your development workflow.
