Halifax - Agentics Foundation Meetup

♾️Agentics Foundation — Halifax Launch Meetup Autonomous AI in Practice: From Curiosity to Capability Agentic AI is no longer a theory experiment or a lab curiosity. It’s becoming a practical way to build systems that plan, decide, act, and adapt, with real autonomy. This meetup marks the first Halifax gathering of the Agentics Foundation, a global, not-for-profit community dedicated to advancing agent-based artificial intelligence through open tools, education, and collaboration. Whether you’re new to the idea of autonomous agents or already experimenting with them, this session is designed to help you understand what agentic AI actually is, why it matters, and how people are using it today. What You’ll Learn What “agentic AI” really meansHow autonomous agents differ from chatbots, copilots, and traditional AI workflows.Real tools, real demosSee practical examples using agentic frameworks and infrastructure, how agents coordinate tasks, persist memory, and execute actions in the real world.From theory to practiceWhere agentic systems are already being applied: automation, research, ops, trading, data pipelines, and more.How to get involvedWays to contribute to open-source projects, join global chapters, or help shape the Halifax agentic AI community from day one. Why This Meetup Matters Halifax has a growing tech ecosystem, but many builders are still encountering AI only through APIs and prompts. This meetup is about: Lowering the barrier to entry for agentic AICreating a local peer community for experimentation and learningConnecting Halifax builders to a global, open, ethical AI movementMaking autonomous systems understandable, accessible, and practical No gatekeeping. No hype-only talks. Just clear explanations, live examples, and honest discussion. Who Should Attend Software developers & engineersStudents and researchersFounders and product buildersData, automation, and AI practitionersAnyone curious about where AI is heading next You do not need prior experience with agent frameworks to attend. About the Agentics Foundation The Agentics Foundation is a not-for-profit organization focused on: Advancing autonomous, agent-based AI systemsSupporting open-source tools and educationBuilding an inclusive global community around ethical, real-world agentic AIHelping individuals and organizations learn, deploy, and manage AI agents responsibly This Halifax meetup is the starting point for a recurring local chapter with ongoing talks, workshops, and collaborations. If you’ve been wondering “what’s beyond chatbots?” If you’ve been curious but unsure where to start… If you want to help shape how autonomous AI develops locally This is your entry point. We’d love to see you there.
