Sessions
A real AI agent goes on trial live, on chain: it earns its first money, pays for services, buys something that turns out to be junk, and gets disputed in front of you. You leave knowing which evidence makes an agent's track record checkable, and which parts of trust still rest on someone's say-so.
Breaking into tech is harder than ever, especially for junior talent. This session will cover what companies actually look for, how to build relevant experience without a traditional job, and how to use projects, hackathons, open source and community to stand out and land your first opportunity.
