Building with Agents

Agent Deployment & Observability

About the track

Agents have advanced from primarily single-session prototypes to being able to solve long-horizon tasks, but their memory is still commonly implemented as accumulated chat history or basic retrieval. There is no settled architecture for deciding what an agent should store, retrieve, revise, and forget. This track is for researchers and senior engineers building agents for long-running tasks, recurring workflows, or use across multiple sessions.

Talks cover working, episodic, semantic, and procedural memory; memory-writing, retrieval, consolidation, and forgetting policies; context management, external stores, and learned memory; evaluation of recall, relevance, consistency, and task performance; and stale memories, conflicting information, privacy, and permissions. Expect concrete architectures, evaluation results, and discussions about failure modes. Attendees will leave with a stronger understanding of how to choose, implement, and evaluate memory components in an agent system.

Track host

David Scharbach

Founder TMLS, MLOps World

David Scharbach is the founder of the Toronto Machine Learning Society (TMLS) and MLOps World, two of the largest community-driven gatherings focused on machine learning in production. Over the past decade, he has organized more than a hundred summits, workshops, and micro-events, bringing together tens of thousands of practitioners, researchers, and business leaders to share real-world, no-fluff lessons on deploying and operationalizing ML and AI systems.

David’s work centers on building open, practitioner-first spaces where teams can candidly compare notes on what actually works in production, from infrastructure, cost management, and ROI to agentic systems and AI sovereignty. As track lead, he draws on that community perspective to curate sessions grounded in real case studies and hard-won operational lessons.
