The document outlines an Akka in Action workshop presented by Yugo Maede at Scala Matsuri 2018. It introduces Akka and the actor model, then discusses building a minimal ticket selling application using Akka. The application allows creating, canceling, and listing events, and buying tickets. Exercises are provided to create the ActorSystem, create an event by sending messages between the TicketSeller and BoxOffice actors, and deploying the application to Heroku.
