THE OPEN INTEGRATION LAYER FOR AGENTS

The Open Integration Layer for Agents during SF a16z TechWeek Tuesday, October 6, 2026 · Time to be confirmed JOE & THE JUICE301 Howard Street, San Francisco Hosted by Open Future Forum Sponsored by Agentic Fabriq Short description Building an interoperable connectivity layer around MCP, open standards, and reusable connectors rather than proprietary integration silos. Full description AI agents need access to applications, APIs, tools, and data—but rebuilding those connections inside every platform creates fragmentation, duplicated work, and long-term lock-in. There is another path: an open integration layer built around MCP, shared standards, and 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, and reusable across models, frameworks, and 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: This session is for AI engineers, platform teams, API builders, open-source contributors, developer-tool leaders, technical founders, and anyone shaping how agents connect to the software ecosystem. Come meet the builders working toward an open, interoperable foundation for agent connectivity. Suggested button: Request to Join
