MCP vs. A2A: Inside the protocols powering the next wave of AI agents

Agent protocols are evolving faster than most teams can keep up and the decisions being made today will define how AI systems are built for years.

MCP. A2A. Open standards. Custom frameworks. Everyone has an opinion, but very few have real-world experience at scale. This is your chance to hear directly from the teams shaping how agents actually communicate, coordinate, and operate in production — not in theory.

• Understand what’s real vs. hype in the agent protocol landscape
• Hear directly from leading AI infrastructure teams shaping how agents operate
• Learn how MCP and A2A actually work in production environments
• Get clarity on architectural tradeoffs before you commit to a direction
• Walk away with practical guidance you can apply to your own agents
