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. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-19: Agentic AI Foundation hosts AGNTCon and MCPCon conferences The Agentic AI Foundation is hosting AGNTCon and MCPCon conferences to establish standardized infrastructure, governance, and communication protocols for the emerging agentic AI economy. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/agentic-ai-foundation-hosts-agntcon-and-mcpcon-conferences ### 2026-08-25: Agentic AI Foundation announces AGNTCon + MCPCon Japan 2026 The Agentic AI Foundation will host AGNTCon + MCPCon Japan 2026 in Tokyo on September 10–11 to develop standards and infrastructure for production-ready, open-source agentic AI systems. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/agentic-ai-foundation-announces-agntcon-mcpcon-japan-2026 --- Cite as: Agentic AI Foundation global conference series.
