The Open Integration Layer for Agents during SF a16z TechWeek
Tuesday, October 6, 2026 Time to be confirmed

JOE & THE JUICE
301 Howard Street, San Francisco

Hosted by Open Future Forum
Sponsored by Agentic Fabriq

Short description
Building an interoperable connectivity layer around MCP, open standards, & reusable connectors rather than proprietary integration silos.

Full description
AI agents need access to applications, APIs, tools, & data-but rebuilding those connections inside every platform creates fragmentation, duplicated work, & long-term lock-in.

There is another path: an open integration layer built around MCP, shared standards, & reusable connectors.

Join Open Future Forum during SF a16z TechWeek for a developer-focused discussion about the infrastructure required to make agent integrations portable, interoperable, & reusable across models, frameworks, & applications.

We'll examine how open connectivity can give developers greater flexibility while allowing the ecosystem to build on shared interfaces instead of creating another generation of proprietary silos.

Topics will include:

Architecting an open integration layer around MCP & APIs

Reusable connectors, tool discovery, & capability schemas

Portability across models, agents, & application frameworks

Authentication, permissions, & policy without unnecessary lock-in

Open standards for context, actions, & system interoperability

Reliability, observability, governance, & production operations

Where shared infrastructure can replace duplicated integrations

This session is for AI engineers, platform teams, API builders, open-source contributors, developer-tool leaders, technical founders, & anyone shaping how agents connect to the software ecosystem.

Come meet the builders working toward an open, interoperable foundation for agent connectivity.
