Why stop by
Kafka works. Does the experience around it?
Conduktor puts one control plane in front of the Kafka you already run. Stop by the booth and we'll show you on real data in about ten minutes — no slides.

One control plane
Console and Gateway sit in front of the Kafka you already run — no changes to your producers or consumers.

Built for the agent era
Users, agents, and applications all get the access they need — under the policies you set once.

See where you stand
A live demo on your kind of data, plus the Kafka Operations Assessment — leave knowing what to fix first.

On stage
Event-Driven Memory for LLM Agent Swarms

Thu 8 October
3:40–4:10 PM
Room Nikko 1

Ever built a multi-agent system on Kafka and wondered where the memory should live? An external database? But Kafka is already a durable log — the conversation and reasoning are there in your topics, ordered and replayable. Agents are just microservices with a brain: an LLM, tools, and memory.
Stéphane shows how to build a shared brain entirely on Kafka, across three tiers of memory, with MCP exposing that memory and tools to the agents.
**You'll leave with:**

Private topics per agent for scoped working memory
Shared topics materialized into a queryable context store via Kafka Streams and Interactive Queries
A vector DB for long-term semantic recall, and share groups to scale the slow, non-deterministic inference workers

The swag
You deserve better Kafka. You also deserve better swag.
We've all got the drawer: the scratchy t-shirt, the pen that dies before you leave the venue, the stress ball shaped like a cloud. Our table is not that.
Swing by for the **"Carrying fewer Kafka problems"** tote and a fresh set of stickers, and enter the raffle while you're there. Ask us to run the **Kafka Operations Assessment** on the spot — ten minutes and you'll leave knowing exactly where your platform stands.

See you there
