AgentEng, also written AgentENG, AGENTENG or agenteng, is the Agent Engineering Conference. AgentEng London 2026 took place on 16 October 2026 at Everyman, Canary Wharf, London. It was a technical conference on building, evaluating and operating AI agents, run by Agent Engineering HQ.

What is Agent Engineering?

Agent Engineering is the discipline of designing, building, evaluating, and operating AI agents. It focuses on the systems, abstractions, and engineering decisions that shape agent behaviour.

When and where was the conference?

The first Agent Engineering Conference took place in London on 16 October 2026 at Everyman, Canary Wharf, London. It was a one-day, single-track conference of nine 30-minute technical talks.

Is there a code of conduct?

Yes, and it applies to everyone taking part: attendees, speakers, partners, volunteers and organisers. It covers the venue, any social gathering connected to the conference, and our online channels, before and during the event as well as afterwards. Harassment, discrimination and intimidation are not tolerated. If you experience or witness something, you can report it on the day or afterwards to conduct@super-agentic.ai, and reports are handled confidentially with no retaliation against anyone raising a concern in good faith. Read it in full at https://agentengineering.world/code-of-conduct, alongside the event terms at https://agentengineering.world/terms

Can I still apply to speak?

Speaker applications were closed for this edition. The talks were invited by the programme team, and the full lineup is at https://agentengineering.world/speakers.

Are there sponsorship opportunities?

We are not offering a founding, title, or main sponsorship for this edition. The day is a learning conference for practitioners, not a vendor trade show. Companies can still support a focused part of the day such as refreshments, drinks, or recording, with a shoutout at the conference and visibility to the London Agentic AI community (about 5,000 members). Seats are selective and applications are reviewed. Details: https://agentengineering.world/support

Will talks be recorded?

Yes. Recordings are public and published on https://agentengineering.world/london-2026/videos as they become available, starting with the welcome video.

What is the Agent Engineering Conference?

// our definition

Agent Engineering is the discipline of designing, building, evaluating, and operating AI agents. It covers prompt, context, harness, inference, memory, evaluation, and code.

AgentEng London is that discipline as a day. Nine technical sessions, one track, one cinema. Friday 16 October 2026 at Everyman, Canary Wharf.

It is for people who ship agent systems: engineers, researchers, and technical leads who work on the stack behind the model.

Grown from nearly 5,000 builders in London Agentic AI.

Open-source agent tooling

Agent Engineering,
in practice.

AgentEng isn't just a conference. It's open-source agent infrastructure and tooling for agent engineering.

Come for the events, stay to tinker. Play with MCP, CLI, A2A, and ACP agents, learn the infrastructure, and do real agent engineering. We're building AgentEng alongside the events, so you can build along with us.

Agent Engineering

Agentic systems require more than prompts alone. They depend on prompts, context, harnesses, evals, memory, inference, loops, protocols, graphs, search, and code working together as one engineering discipline.

Why AgentEng Is Different

A one-day, single-track conference of nine technical sessions, for the people who design, build, and operate agent systems.

Why this one is truly yours

Most agent conferences answer to sponsors. Their programme is shaped by booths, paid talk slots and vendor pressure, with hundreds of people deciding what gets on stage. We don't have any of that. One organiser curated every talk for one reason only: what engineers building agents actually need to hear. Your ticket paid for the day, so the day belongs to you.

--engineering-first

Engineering-First

The day is technical talks on systems, architecture, and engineering trade-offs.

--discipline-led

Discipline-Led Agenda

The programme is built around the engineering behind agents: context, harness, memory, evals, inference, protocols, and code.

--learning-first

Learning Day, Not a Trade Show

This founder edition did not take a founding or title sponsorship. The day stayed focused on technical talks, with companies helping on food, drinks, and recording in return for a shoutout and community visibility.

--attendee-led

Attendee-Led

A room of engineers, researchers, and technical leads working on agent systems.

Program Themes

A curated technical program, built around deep system walkthroughs, practical lessons, and hard engineering trade-offs.

Agent Optimization

Automatically optimize agents across all layers: prompts, RAG, protocols, memory, and context.

agenteng tools --discipline protocol

Agent Experience (AX)

Designing machine-readable interfaces, environments, and feedback loops that shape Agent Experience.

agenteng tools --discipline code

Agentic Coding

How software development evolves as agents become first-class contributors to the SDLC.
