MCP Builders Summit Hosted by Featureform and Silicon Valley Bank
Description
Join us on Wednesday, July 30th, from 5 PM to 8 PM, for an evening of deep dive MCP demos, agent architecture talks, and investor insight at the SVB Experience Center, co-sponsored by Featureform and Silicon Valley Bank! MCP provides AI agents with a unified interface to discover tools, pass structured context, execute real actions across your stack, and persist state. Wire it in, and agents transition from prototype chatbots to systems that actually deliver results. At this meetup, we delve into real-world builds: long-lived memory, fast local development and testing loops for MCP servers, secure global delivery, and the infrastructure signals investors are watching as usage ramps up. We’ll also have drinks and bites available throughout the evening for everyone.
