Agentic AI Foundation global conference series

Overview

The Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF), hosted by The Linux Foundation, has initiated a series of global conferences, including AGNTCon and MCPCon, to address the technical and governance requirements of agentic AI.

Following the announcement of the AGNTCon + MCPCon Japan 2026 schedule in Tokyo, which focused on transitioning AI agents from experimental projects to production-ready systems through open-source standards, the foundation expanded its reach to North America and Europe.

These subsequent events highlight a broader industry shift toward a standardized infrastructure layer. Discussions have evolved to include the development of a formal governance stack, focusing on security, interoperability, and multi-agent systems. Industry participants are exploring technologies such as unified control planes and Model Context Protocol (MCP) gateways to provide the oversight and trust necessary for enterprise-grade deployment.
