multi agent AI collaboration problem solving protocols? (beyond MCP?)

About

AI West is hosting a working session on multi-agent AI collaboration and problem-solving protocols, exploring coordination approaches beyond the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Why attend

You'll participate in hands-on experiments with multi-agent systems, hear lightning talks on coordination and negotiation patterns, and collaborate directly on real problems with other practitioners. This is a working session, not a lecture—expect live demos and open discussion focused on practical protocols.

Who

Software engineers, AI researchers, and builders working on multi-agent systems or looking to understand coordination challenges in distributed AI architectures.
