Please make sure to register with the AWS Builder Loft - http://www.cvent.com/d/13q98r to access the AWS Build Loft the day of.

Get ready for a hands-on deep dive into autonomous systems with context graphs. When implemented right, it's an integral part of AI's trillion-dollar opportunity.

This Neo4j + AWS Strands Hack Day is designed to take you from architectural concepts to smart agents. We'll kick things off with a presentation on the Neo4j Context Graph-a specialized knowledge graph that captures not just your data, but the reasoning, precedents, & "decision traces" behind every AI action. You'll see how this graph acts as a shared memory for agents built on AWS Strands, the model-driven SDK that orchestrates multi-agent workflows across the AWS ecosystem. After the tech briefing, the floor is yours: use create-context-graph & build agents that can navigate complex relationships & business decisions with accuracy.

What to expect
Get expert insights & real-world advice. Three focused hours of coding. One room full of builders. Zero fluff. As many demos as we can fit in.

Join us for a Hack Day at the AWS Builder Loft. Show up with an idea, find a team (or go solo), & spend a few intense hours building. Then demo what you've created before the night ends.
