+# Topic
+
+Working with Akkling (F# API for Akka.NET)
+
+In this session we will explore Akkling, an F# API for Akka.NET. Akka.NET is a port of the Akka actor model framework from the JVM to .NET. Akkling is a library that provides a more idiomatic F# API for Akka.NET.
+
+Vagif will introduce Akka.NET and Akkling, and demonstrate how to use Akkling to build a simple actor system in F#.
