Agentic Infra & MCP Builders Meetup with IBM — Sydney, 11 December 2025

​About

Teams everywhere are experimenting with AI agents — but the moment you try to move beyond a prototype, the same problems hit:

• ​No identity model

• ​No control or governance

• ​Hard-coded access

• ​Zero visibility

• ​MCP servers that are hard to productionise

​This meetup brings together the people in Sydney pushing into this space.

​Short, sharp conversations about what’s breaking, what’s working, and what needs to exist next.
