Building an Agentic AI System

Building an Agentic AI System

Where the Puck is Now

Amsterdam | April 30, 2026 | Hosted at Miro

Format: A closed-door working session in a small group with a curated set of Europe's leading AI companies. The goal is to collaboratively build an agentic AI system using real tools and workflows, not demos. Startup founders, architects and CEOs will co-participate as working contributors, not presenters.

Agentic AI Building Session

New capabilities are emerging almost weekly, and the real questions are: what is actually usable now, what design patterns are beginning to matter, and how do you get to scale? This working session is designed for senior enterprise technology leaders who want a sharper, more practical understanding of how agentic AI is evolving and implications for enterprise architecture, operating models, and execution.

The value of the session is threefold: hands-on exposure, shared building, and peer exchange. Members engage directly with a curated set of European founders and peers building at the frontier of agentic AI. Second, they will work side by side with peers in a practical build environment to experience how these capabilities come together in a real enterprise-style workflow. Third, members will leave with a much clearer view of where the puck is now: what is possible, what is mature, and what deserves executive attention next.

What to expect

This is a deliberately curated working session, not a product event - no pitch decks, etc. Startup founders and executives are participating as builders and teachers inside a shared experience as design partners.

The build session: learning by doing

The core of the meeting is a hands-on workshop in which participants will work through a practical enterprise workflow and see how multiple agentic components including orchestration, interfaces, voice, knowledge layers, workflow logic, and governance, can be orchestrated into something tangible. The objective is not to produce a polished production system - but to make the architecture, tradeoffs, and design choices visible through doing.

Founder-led perspective: the art of the possible

A tightly curated session featuring founders at the leading edge of agentic AI. The emphasis will be on the emerging patterns, capabilities, and implementation lessons that matter most to enterprise leaders right now.

Peer exchange over lunch and breakouts

Lunch and smaller-group conversations will create space to compare notes with peers, pressure-test assumptions, and discuss where these approaches may have near-term relevance inside large enterprises.
