The Toronto Agent Summit brings together senior engineers, AI builders, and investors to explore how AI agents are actually built, evaluated, secured, and operated in production. Expect practical insights on agent-driven SDLC automation, multi-agent evaluation and observability, and agent security — grounded in real systems, not hype.
