Keynote: Every AI Agent Needs a Gateway - Lin Sun, Head of Open Source, Solo.io
Thursday September 10, 2026 09:20 - 09:30 JST
AI agents are rapidly evolving from chatbots into autonomous systems that use tools, collaborate with other agents, and interact with enterprise data. But as their capabilities grow, so do the operational challenges. How do you know which agent consumed your AI tokens? Which tools were invoked? How do you govern, secure, and observe agent behavior across an increasingly complex ecosystem?

In this demo-driven keynote, Lin invites the audience to become part of a live agent experience, where her AI agent orchestrates multiple services and MCP tools to transform the audience in an unexpected way. Throughout the demo, every request flows through agentgateway, showcasing how an AI gateway enables secure access to MCP servers, intelligent traffic mediation, policy enforcement, cost attribution, and end-to-end observability for production-ready agentic systems.

Keynote: The State and Future of A2A - Kaz Sato, Staff Developer Advocate, Cloud AI, Google
Thursday September 10, 2026 09:35 - 09:45 JST
As organizations build more capable agents, those agents will need a common way to communicate and work together across frameworks, vendors, and platforms. This keynote examines the current state of A2A, the problems it is designed to solve, and where the project is headed. We'll also see A2A in action through a production multi-agent system, including what happens when one of its agents is compromised.
