What this session is about
Playbook
Editorial commentary · what to actually do about this on Monday
The concept
Hands-on AgentCore lab — Strands SDK, agent-to-agent (A2A) protocols, agent building under simulated incident pressure.
Why it matters
You don't learn agents from slides. You learn by debugging them at 2 AM when something is broken and the demo gods have fled.
The hard parts
GameDays are time-boxed. Trade-offs and shortcuts mirror real life — that's the point.
Playbook moves
(1) Send 2–3 engineers, not one. The team dynamics are part of the lesson. (2) Debrief afterwards as a written internal post-mortem. (3) Pick people who'll bring lessons back to their teams, not just enthusiasts.
The surprise
GameDay's hidden value is meeting *other practitioners*. The networking IS the curriculum. Hallway conversations during breaks generate more "huh, we should try that" than the labs themselves. Optimise for that.
