AGNTCon + MCPCon North America

Description

AGNTCon + MCPCon North America is the flagship conference for the open agentic AI ecosystem, bringing together the developers, researchers, platform builders, and enterprises advancing the next generation of AI agents. Taking place October 22-23, 2026 in San Jose, California, this Linux Foundation event spans the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and the broader agent landscape, exploring how teams are building reliable, scalable, and secure agent systems in production. ## What to Expect The two-day conference features keynotes, deep technical sessions, real-world case studies, and an expo hall where you can connect with leading sponsors including Google, Akamai, Solo.io, Kong, Temporal, Neo4j, and dozens of emerging startups in the agentic AI space. Through collaborative discussions and ecosystem collaboration, attendees will share learnings, surface common challenges, and advance open approaches to agentic AI — from core agent architectures and infrastructure to the protocols and tools that make agent systems interoperable. ## Who Should Attend This conference attracts a highly technical and influential audience actively shaping how agentic AI is designed, implemented, and deployed: - **Open source developers and contributors** building MCP and other agentic AI projects - **Project maintainers and foundation leaders** guiding standards and governance - **Enterprise engineers and architects** adopting agent-based systems in production - **Platform, infrastructure, and tooling teams** supporting agent orchestration, security, and observability - **Researchers and academics** exploring the foundations and future of agentic systems Whether you're contributing to open source agent frameworks, implementing agentic AI in your organization, or building the infrastructure layer that powers agent ecosystems, AGNTCon + MCPCon provides the technical depth and community connections you need. ## Conference Format **Thursday, October 22:** Keynotes, technical conference sessions, expo hall, and attendee reception **Friday, October 23:** Keynotes, technical conference sessions, and expo hall Session recordings from previous MCP Dev Summit events are available, giving you a preview of the caliber of technical content delivered at these gatherings. The conference maintains a focus on practical, production-ready insights rather than theoretical discussions — expect to leave with actionable knowledge you can apply immediately.
