Explore the evolving landscape of AI agent collaboration in this 50-minute conference talk from NDC Manchester 2025. Learn how to build intelligent, interoperable agents that can communicate and collaborate with each other using cutting-edge protocols and patterns. Discover the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for connecting agents to real-time data, tools, and APIs with minimal integration overhead, and understand how the Action Calling Protocol (ACP) enables agents to invoke actions across services and platforms. Master Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication patterns that allow agents to discover, negotiate, and collaborate securely and asynchronously. Follow along with live demonstrations showing how to build MCP servers in both Python and .NET, register and invoke actions using ACP, and create sophisticated multi-agent workflows using A2A with Semantic Kernel and Autogen. Gain practical coding insights, real-world use cases, and actionable strategies for transforming isolated AI tools into collaborative, social agents that can work together effectively across different platforms and services.
