IDEA WALK: By LIT Incubation A morning of ideas, conversations, and unexpected collaborations. Hosted by Incubation Labs 📅 Sunday, 1 November 2026 ⏰ 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM 📍 Agara Lake, Bengaluru Great ideas rarely happen in isolation. Idea Walk is a morning meetup for founders, builders, students, and curious minds who want to exchange ideas, get honest feedback, and meet people who might become their next collaborators, co-founders, or early supporters. Just a relaxed morning walk, meaningful conversations, and the opportunity to discover what happens when people building different things come together. What can you expect? 1. Share what you're building 2. Validate your ideas 3. Meet potential collaborators 4. Have conversations beyond business Who should join? Idea Walk is for you if you're: A founder building a startup or exploring a new venture. A student with an idea you'd like to turn into something real. A professional interested in startups, innovation, and collaboration. A designer, developer, marketer, or operator looking to meet people who are building. Simply someone who enjoys exchanging ideas and learning from others. About Incubation Labs Incubation Labs supports early-stage founders and student entrepreneurs as they explore ideas, validate opportunities, and take their first steps towards building meaningful businesses. Idea Walk is an extension of that philosophy: creating opportunities for people to meet, exchange perspectives, and discover possibilities together. Ready to walk and talk? Join us at Agara Lake for a different kind of Sunday morning. Come with an idea. Leave with a new perspective, a useful connection, or perhaps the beginning of something bigger. Register on Luma to save your spot. See you on the walk! 🚶‍♂️💡 — Team Incubation Labs

A curated gathering for founders, engineers, researchers, product leaders, and builders exploring what’s possible with Agentic AI. AI agents are moving beyond simple prompts and workflows. The interesting questions now are around how we build agents that can reason, use tools, work with data, interact through voice, and operate reliably in real-world environments. The Agentic Mixer brings together people actively building and experimenting with agentic systems for an evening of practical conversations, real demos, and shared learning. What we’ll explore Agentic workflows across chat, data, and voice Building and deploying agents in real-world environments Evaluations, reliability, and agent performance Lessons from production and early-stage builds What’s next for agentic systems Event Format Spotlight Talks: State of Agentic AI We’ll kick things off with 2–3 short sessions from our team, featuring directors and technology leaders sharing what they’re building, what they’ve learned, what’s working, and where they’re still stuck. Open Mic: Show What You Built The mic is yours. 60mins. Bring a 3–5 minute demo, lesson, problem, or bold take on agentic AI across chat, data, voice, or anything else. The room responds with questions, ideas, and challenges. Submit your proposal. No polished pitch. Just show the work and join the conversation. Mixer & Open Networking Once the talks and demos are done, stick around for food, drinks, and unstructured time to meet the people you actually wanted to meet. No forced introductions. No agenda. Just good conversations with people building in the same space. Who should come? Founders, engineers, researchers, CTOs, product and ops leaders, and independent builders exploring agentic systems. Whether you’re already in production, somewhere in the middle of a build, or still figuring out the stack if you’re doing the work, you belong in the room. What you’ll leave with A sharper sense of what people are actually building, a few problems

Okta Developer Connect Bengaluru 2026 Identity as the Control Plane for AI Agents Okta Developer Connect Bengaluru is back, bringing together developers, platform and security engineers, architects, engineering leaders, and builders to explore what it takes to securely bring AI agents into the enterprise. AI agents are beginning to work across applications, APIs, data, and enterprise workflows, retrieving information, taking actions, and increasingly operating on behalf of users. As these systems become more capable, identity becomes the control plane for determining who or what can access which resources, what actions they can perform, and under what conditions. At Okta Developer Connect Bengaluru, we’ll explore how identity, authorization, and governance come together to secure AI agents in production. Through technical sessions, demos, discussions, and real-world examples, we’ll dive into topics including Agent SSO, Cross App Access (XAA), MCP, OAuth, least-privilege authorization, agent governance, secure integrations, and building identity into agentic enterprise workflows. What to Expect ⚡ Technical sessions focused on identity and authorization for AI agents ⚡ Agent SSO, Cross App Access (XAA), MCP, OAuth, and secure agent access ⚡ Real-world examples of how AI and identity are being applied across enterprise workflows ⚡ Insights into building and integrating securely with the Okta ecosystem ⚡ Interactive activities, quiz, raffle, and community programs ⚡ Lunch, snacks, and networking with developers, product teams, and the Okta community Whether you’re already building AI-powered applications or exploring how agents will operate securely across enterprise systems, join us to learn, connect, and see how identity is evolving for the agentic era. Date: Wednesday, November 4, 2026 Time: 11:30 AM – 6:00 PM IST Venue: Okta Bengaluru Office, RMZ Ecoworld, Bengaluru Agenda 11:30 AM - 12:00 PM Registration & Check-in 12:00 PM - 12:15 PM Welcome & Opening by Michael
