I’m an official media partner for AGNTCon + MCPCon Europe 2026, and as part of that I get to share a discount with you. If you’re working on AI agents, the Model Context Protocol, or the agentic stack in production, this is the room you want to be in this autumn.
The event brings together the developers, researchers, platform builders, and enterprises advancing the next generation of AI agents — from core agent architectures and infrastructure to the protocols and tools that make agent systems interoperable. As a media partner I get an early look at the program and the people on stage, and the lineup is genuinely the people building this stuff, not just talking about it.
The essentials
- When: September 17-18, 2026
- Where: RAI Amsterdam, Netherlands
- Tagline: Where the agentic stack is being built
- Focus: Model Context Protocol (MCP) + the broader agent landscape — reliable, scalable, secure agent systems in production
- Hosted by: The Agentic AI Foundation (under the Linux Foundation events umbrella)
Why this one matters
The agentic stack is moving fast, and most of the hard problems are no longer “can a model do X” — they’re about making agent systems that are reliable, scalable, and secure once they leave a notebook and hit real infrastructure. AGNTCon + MCPCon is where that conversation is happening: core agent architectures, orchestration, observability, the protocols (MCP first among them) that make tools and services interoperable, and the real-world case studies from teams running agents in production.
The audience matches that: open-source contributors building MCP and agentic projects, project maintainers and foundation leaders, enterprise engineers and architects adopting agent-based systems, platform and infrastructure teams supporting orchestration and security, and researchers exploring where agentic systems go next.
Speakers to watch
The confirmed keynotes already read like a who’s-who of the protocol and agentic tooling world:
- Angie Jones — VP of Developer Experience, The Agentic AI Foundation
- David Soria Parra — Co-creator of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), Anthropic
- Clare Liguori — Senior Principal Engineer, AWS (core MCP specification maintainer; Kiro and Strands Agents SDK)
- Dexter Horthy — CEO & Co-founder, HumanLayer (coined “context engineering”)
- Idit Levine — Founder & CEO, solo.io
- Dominic Farolino — Software Engineer, Google (agentic web platform APIs in Chrome)
- Frédéric Barthelet — CTO & Co-founder, Alpic (Skybridge, open-source MCP Apps framework)
Beyond the keynotes, the program spans deep technical sessions and ecosystem collaboration — including a dedicated MCP track and a closing panel on MCP Challenges & Opportunities with speakers from GitHub, Hugging Face, the Agentic AI Foundation, and Arcade. There’s also a Model Context Protocol Associate (MCPA) certification available alongside the event if you want to put a credential next to the hands-on work.
