 ## Agenda
 
+### Building a resilient API landscape with Azure API Management

+In the digital age that we live in, we highly depend on cloud services being available that we build upon. However, failure is inevitable and will happen - The question is, will you notice it?
+
+When building platforms it is crucial to ensure that you will seamlessly handle failure and by being resilient to them. Come learn how Azure API Management helps you mitigate and recover from failures by using built-in load balancing and circuit-breaking capabilities.
+
+You will also learn how you can route traffic based on your needs and simulate outages in your API platform to verify your resiliency.
