AGENTIC AI 2026
by Modev
Agentic, physical and sovereign AI in one day outside Washington
About This Event
AGENTIC AI 2026, Modev's North America edition, is a single-day conference on 7 October 2026 at the Carahsoft Conference Center in Reston, Virginia. The programme is built on three tracks: Agentic AI, covering autonomous systems that plan, decide and act at enterprise scale; Physical AI, covering robots, edge devices and embodied intelligence as AI moves out of the datacenter; and Sovereign AI, covering national AI infrastructure, data sovereignty and geopolitics. Roughly 70 confirmed speakers include Cox Communications head of AI Eric Pace, Marriott global head of technology Shiv Misra, US Department of the Navy CTO Justin Fanelli, EQUS CEO Sandy Carter and AI Leadership Institute founder Noelle Russell. Registration opens at 09:00, morning and afternoon session blocks run to 15:00 across five breakout rooms for hands-on training, KPMG presents the executive AI House Stage, and an evening reception closes at 18:00.

Why Attend
A CIO who has agents in pilot and no clear route to production gets the most out of this one. The three tracks map to the three decisions that actually stall those projects: how to run autonomous systems safely at scale, whether to extend them into physical and edge environments, and what sovereignty or federal-procurement constraints will do to your architecture. Because it sits in Reston, the public-sector integrators and their compliance requirements are present in a way they are not at west-coast AI events, and the hands-on breakout rooms send engineers home with something built.

What Makes This Unique
- ★Three-track split across agentic, physical and sovereign AI, which almost no other commercial AI conference programmes together
- ★Held at the Carahsoft Conference Center in Reston, at the centre of US federal IT procurement, so government buyers and their integrators are genuinely in the room
- ★Speakers are named practitioners running agents in production at Cox Communications, Marriott and the US Navy rather than vendor keynotes
- ★Five breakout rooms are given over to hands-on training rather than more panels
- ★Tiered public pricing with dedicated government/non-profit and pre-Series-B startup rates, and a dated cutoff you can plan around
- ★One day, so the travel cost is a flight and a night rather than a week
