Agentic AI Foundation hosts AGNTCon and MCPCon conferences

The Agentic AI Foundation, operating under the Linux Foundation, is hosting a series of major conferences, including AGNTCon + MCPCon, focused on agent infrastructure and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). These events, held in North America and Europe, signal a transition in the AI industry from experimental, isolated scripts toward a standardized, institutionalized infrastructure layer.

The conferences address the emergence of a formal governance stack designed to manage the proliferation of agent tools. Key themes include security, interoperability, multi-agent systems, and enterprise-grade deployment. Industry leaders from organizations such as Anthropic, Google Cloud, and Block are participating to discuss foundational communication layers, runtime authority, and institutional oversight.

In the European sessions, discussions have centered on the practical business applications of agentic AI and the necessity of governance. Companies like Traefik Labs SAS are developing technologies, such as unified control planes and MCP gateways, to monitor and control how AI agents interact with their environments, aiming to provide the trust and evidence required for enterprise adoption.
