About Event

Everyone’s shipping. But are we syncing?

Across AI, builders are creating new standards for agents, identity, and payments — sometimes solving problems no one else has seen yet, and other times solving the same ones differently.

Dozens of efforts (HCS-14, ERC-8004, x402, FPP, MCP, A2A, Trust Over IP, AGTNCY, and more) are racing ahead. Each is building a vital piece of interoperability for the AI stack. 

However, by building in isolation we risk incidental incompatibilities that could complicate or threaten comprehensive interoperability.

This is a community breather — a space to step back, compare notes, and align the patchwork of standards.

The Advanced AI Society is convening a 4-hour working session to:
1️⃣ Map the current standards landscape with lightning updates from leading projects and standards bodies.
2️⃣ Identify overlaps, gaps, and potential collisions.
3️⃣ Prioritize what needs collective focus next — continuity of identity, agent discovery, verifiable payments, registry interoperability, and more.

The gathering will unfold in two parts: 

Part 1 is the mini-conference where we hear from leading protocols in lightning talks and panels. 

Part 2 is the micro-unconference to surface priority areas of work.
