Designing Multi‑Agent Systems: Sequential, Parallel, and Beyond with ADK
Multi‑agent systems are powerful but choosing the wrong interaction pattern can quickly lead to fragile, slow, or expensive AI systems.
In this talk, we explore the core multi‑agent design patterns enabled by ADK, including sequential, parallel, and more advanced coordination models. Rather than focusing on tools alone, we’ll look at how to think architecturally about agent collaboration.
You’ll learn:
- When sequential agents are the right choice and when they become a bottleneck
- How parallel agents improve speed and coverage (and the trade‑offs they introduce)
- Common failure modes in poorly designed agent interactions
- Practical criteria for choosing the right pattern based on task, latency, and reliability
By the end of the session, you’ll have a clear mental model for designing multi‑agent systems that are intentional, scalable, and production‑ready.
About the Speaker
Dr Roushanak Rahmat is an Enterprise AI Architect, Google Developer Expert (AI & Cloud), and recognized among the Top 100 Women in Tech (2025). With a PhD in Artificial Intelligence and over 15 years of experience, she specializes in designing and delivering enterprise-scale Generative AI, Agentic AI, and Deep Learning solutions that transform industries including healthcare, finance, energy, and public services.
Privacy by Deployment: Architecting Agent-Driven Localization Workflows for Regulated Environments
Most enterprise AI today is private by promise - a DPA, a SOC 2 report, or a contract clause that says, "we won't train on your data". For a regulated buyer, these are remedies after a breach, not controls that prevent or contain one. For organizations in healthcare, finance, defense, and government, privacy often requires stronger guarantees: data residency, customer-controlled execution, and, in some cases, operation within air-gapped environments.
This session demonstrates how agentic AI can automate a localization workflow while operating within these constraints. Using a real-world localization pipeline as an example, we will show how agentic systems can coordinate translation, review, quality assurance, and content preparation tasks while incorporating human checkpoints for approval and oversight.
We will also walk through the architectural patterns that enable these workflows to run inside customer-controlled and air-gapped environments without transferring sensitive content outside the customer boundary. The session includes a live product demonstration.
Key Takeaways
- Architectural patterns for deploying agentic AI in air-gapped and customer-controlled environments
- How agentic systems can automate localization workflows while preserving critical human review and approval processes
- Practical considerations for operating agentic workflows in regulated environments with auditability and governance requirements
About the Speaker
Shruti Joshi is building an AI powered secure localization stack for regulated industries such as healthcare, legal, finance that cannot send their content to a typical hosted SaaS. She brings 12+ years of engineering and architecture experience to the question this talk addresses: how do you make an agentic AI system deployable inside a regulated perimeter.
MCP Is the Interface; Skills Are the Operating Discipline
This talk shows how MCP and Agent Skills work together in practical agent systems. MCP gives agents a standard interface to tools, data, and workflows; skills encode the operating discipline that makes those connections reliable. Using a sanitized field-operations ledger as the case study, the talk walks through source intake, normalized state, uncertainty labels, role prompts, QA gates, and share-safe status drafting.
About the Speaker
Chuck Hernandez is an AI engineering and client-delivery leader with 10+ years across software, data platforms, and enterprise implementation, including 3+ years shipping production GenAI systems.
Agentic engineering is about good guidance.
Garbage Inn. Is garbage out? This is true. For many input and output processes. In biological life and in computer systems, and equally true when working with LLM’s. The better the prompt, the better the context, the better the focus, And the better the contextual awareness, the better the quality of the output the LLM’s generates.
This is the governance, art and practice of what we like to call agentic engineering, something I've been practicing over the last year.
About the Speaker
Dimitri Geelen builds things that don't need him once they're done. Frameworks, transitions, agentic systems — the measure of success is always the same: does it hold up when he leaves the room? He understands not just how to deploy, but what it takes for a new service to survive and scale inside a complex enterprise.
