Building Reusable & Extendable Agents with the Google ADK

This event covers building and testing agents using Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK), focusing on creating reusable and extendable agent architectures. The session demonstrates how to leverage the ADK's CLI tools and framework to streamline agent development workflows. Key topics include agent design patterns, testing strategies, and best practices for building scalable agent systems.
