What to look forward to
On October 19, Snowflake, ODSC AI, and SVAI will host technical talks, demos, and discussions on building production-ready personal agents, with a focus on MCP, persistent memory, secure actions, personalization, and fine-tuning. The evening will bring together 100+ AI practitioners, agent developers, and data leaders working across agent infrastructure, models, and production AI.
Inside the event
Personal Agents, MCP & the Next Wave of AI
Join Snowflake, ODSC AI and SpaceXAI at SVAI for an evening focused on one of the biggest AI shifts happening right now: personal agents.
The race is on to build agents that do more than complete tasks. The next generation of agents remembers preferences, learns from behavior, works across tools and data sources, and can act on a user’s behalf.
At the center of that shift is MCP - the Model Context Protocol.
On October 19, during the same week as AGNTCON, MCPCON, and the PyTorch Conference, we’re bringing together builders and practitioners for an evening of technical talks, demos, and conversation around what it actually takes to build personal agents in production.
WHAT WE’LL COVER
Expect practical conversations around
- Persistent memory and user-adaptive behavior
- Secure agent actions and purchases
- MCP integrations in production
- Personalization, fine-tuning, RLHF, and on-device inference
- Connecting training-time knowledge with real-time context
WHO SHOULD JOIN?
This event is for people building or working with
- AI agents and agent infrastructure
- MCP servers and integrations
- Personalized AI systems
- Model training and fine-tuning
- AI platforms, data infrastructure, and production AI
Whether you’re building the infrastructure behind agents or shipping user-facing experiences, this is a chance to meet others working on the same problems.
WHY ATTEND?
See where personal agents are going
Learn how teams are moving from generic assistants to agents that remember, adapt, and act.
Go deeper on MCP
Hear what’s working in production, what’s breaking, and what teams are learning as MCP adoption grows.
Connect models to real-world agent behavior
Explore how fine-tuning, RLHF, and inference translate into more personalized agent experiences.
Meet other builders
Connect with 100+ AI practitioners, agent developers, and data leaders across the AGNTCON, MCPCON, and PyTorch ecosystem.

Meet the Speakers
Three speakers, one evening of practical talks and demos on personal agents and MCP. Here’s the first addition to our lineup
- Effie Goenawan
- Principal Product Manager, Snowflake CoWork & AI
Effie works on Snowflake’s personal work agent, bringing a product perspective to how agents connect data, tools, and everyday work—a natural fit for our conversation about agents that know you.
Mark Boos
Field Engineering Leadership, SpaceXAI
Mark is building field engineering at SpaceXAI, the makers of Grok Bot. Grok Bot is your team of always-on agents with their own compute, and connected to your tools and apps.
One more speaker to be announced soon.
