October meetup: building/deploying/maintaining agentic AI and autonomous agents

**The October edition of the *AI on the Amstel meetup* will be focused on autonomous AI agents.** We continue to get a lot of requests for a meetup around agentic AI, so we're doing another meetup on agents!

We’ve put together a great panel for this event. Each panelist brings a different perspective on AI agents. Here is the panel for the October meetup:

* **Andreu Mora, SVP Engineering and Head of AI at Adyen** – Adyen is one of the largest payment processors in the world, processing over €1.29 trillion in payments in 2024.
* **Roman Arkhipov, Director of Coding and Agentic AI Project Lead at Toloka** – Toloka is one of the largest providers of training data for agentic AI systems.
* **Fedor Zhdanov, founder of a stealth agentic AI startup** – Fedor brings a startup perspective, and has previously held senior AI roles, such as Principal Scientist at AWS and VP and Head of AI at Nebius.
* **Moderator: Sean Kenny, leads Prosus's agentic workforce efforts** – Prosus is the fourth-largest company in the EU by market capitalization, and they have already deployed 10,000 AI agents across their portfolio companies.

For those that are new to this meetup, the ***[AI on the Amstel meetup](https://www.aiontheamstel.nl/)*** is a monthly technical meetup that features knowledgeable speakers discussing "in the weeds" AI topics and challenges. This meetup caters to engineers, product managers, and founders in AI.

**There will be food and drinks and time for networking before and after the panel discussion.** Doors open at 17:00. Finally, since we get asked about this a lot, it's fine if you arrive late! We know work can be busy!
