We’re delighted to welcome Amir Omicevic, who will be sharing his AWS London Summit session with us. His talk, “Bridging PoC to Production with AgentCore: An Introduction to Amazon Bedrock AgentCore,” provides a clear and practical overview of how AgentCore enables the development of intelligent, agent-based applications.

AI agents have levelled up. They’re no longer just chatbots — they reason, plan, and act. From autonomous DevOps engineers fixing infrastructure issues, to research assistants compiling reports, to full-stack applications spun up from a single prompt, agent-based systems are rapidly evolving.

The result? An explosion of agent prototypes across startups and enterprises alike. But here’s the challenge: most never make it beyond the demo stage.

In this session, Amir will explore how to bridge that gap — moving from “impressive PoC” to production-ready systems. Drawing on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, he’ll walk through the tools, patterns, and services that help turn experimental agents into reliable, real-world applications.

You can expect:
1️⃣ Key challenges in taking agents to production
2️⃣ An introduction to AgentCore
3️⃣ A deep dive into its core components
4️⃣ Practical guidance, technical enablement, and resources

Along the way, Amir will also showcase a selection of AgentCore demo applications, offering valuable insight into real-world use cases and implementation approaches.
