The Conversation Everyone in AI is Having
Agentic AI isn’t hype. It’s the turning point. Tools are becoming teammates. Models are making decisions. Workflows are running on autopilot. The question isn’t if this shift is coming – it’s how fast and who’s ready. On September 30, Philly AI Connect brings together the city’s brightest builders, founders, researchers, and thinkers for a live discussion on what “agentic” really means and why it matters. This isn’t another AI 101 lecture. This is the room where Philly’s AI future is being written.
What “agentic” really means:
Beyond buzzwords and LinkedIn slides.
How to build it:
Tools, frameworks, and multi-agent design patterns that actually scale.
What it changes:
The workplace, decision-making, and the role of humans on the team.
One panel. And a few surprises to keep you on your toes.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
If you’re serious about AI, you should be here. This isn’t just about listening. It’s about connecting with the people in Philly who are actually building what’s next.
