As organizations deploy agents to collaborate and take action across enterprise systems, traditional approaches to integration don’t fit the bill: APIs alone can’t handle asynchronous, long-running workflows, and event-driven patterns alone can’t enforce policy, control and governance. You need both.
In this session, we’ll show how APIs and events work together to enable real-time coordination, policy enforcement, and strong governance, so you can move from AI experiments to production-ready, autonomous operations.
Join us to learn…
- Why multi-agent systems can’t scale reliably without both API-led and event-driven patterns, and the governance they provide.
- How APIs and events together enable control, coordination, and consistent system behavior.
- Why autonomous systems require stronger governance models for policy, identity, and trust.
- How to maintain observability and cost control as multi-agent systems scale.
