Agentic + AI Night: Multi-Agent Governance and Security

Agentic + AI Night is a recurring San Francisco builder series for engineers, security practitioners, ML and AI developers, and startup founders shipping autonomous agents. The September 1 edition is a multi-track deep dive into multi-agent governance and security, including Omnigent, an open-source meta-harness for coordinating agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and custom agents in a shared workflow. The point is real-world patterns, failure modes, and governance models for a layer that manages execution, sandboxing, state, and runtime policies across vendors. If you care about deploying agents in organizational workflows with clear controls, this is the SOMA practitioner night.

The host is Agentic + AI Observability, which describes itself as a practical meetup series for data and AI engineers who want to go deeper on agents. The listing promises speakers from Databricks, OpenAI, Cursor, OpenHands, Ollama, and Modal. The keynote is Kasey Uhlenhuth, director of product management at Databricks, at 5:00 PM. Breakouts then split across Terra and Mer rooms: Omnigent with Bryan Qiu of Databricks, security agents with Travis McPeak of Cursor, a cyber-agent governance session with Tom Petrick and Sapto Banerjeej of OpenAI, Ollama, OpenHands on self-healing software, and Adam Azzam of Modal on building environments rather than agents. Registration on Luma requires host approval.

Go if you build agent runtimes, sandboxing, or observability, whether at an early-stage startup or an established enterprise. Skip if you need a Kubernetes platform day, a membership-chamber social, or a walk-up mixer. Approval is the gate; do not assume the door. Bring a concrete failure mode or governance question into the breakout rounds. The best time is in the tracks, then the reception, not only the keynote listing.

Tuesday, September 1, 2026, 3:30 to 9:00 PM PDT at Terra Gallery and Event Venue, 511 Harrison Street, San Francisco, CA 94105. Registration and mingling start at 3:30. The keynote is at 5:00, three breakout rounds follow, and a reception runs from 7:45 to 9:00. Confirm door instructions in the Luma email. Harrison Street evening arrival still needs a named check-in.

Same day, Kubernetes Community Day San Francisco Bay Area runs the full CNCF program at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. That is cloud-native platform talks across the bay; this is multi-agent governance downtown. Choose by topic and commute. You will not do both well from 3:30 PM onward. RSVP early and wait for approval before you clear September 1.
