AGNTCon + MCPCon North America 2027

AGNTCon + MCPCon North America 2027 runs 28-29 April 2027 in San Francisco, California, hosted by the Linux Foundation's Agentic AI Foundation. The foundation is the neutral home for the open standards behind agentic AI — it governs Model Context Protocol (MCP), goose and AGENTS.md — and describes AGNTCon + MCPCon as its flagship annual conference for the open agentic AI ecosystem, uniting builders, contributors and enterprises working across MCP and the wider agentic stack. The 2026 edition ran 22-23 October at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center as two days of keynotes, technical sessions and hands-on workshops, organised around ten production-focused tracks. The 2027 programme, call for proposals and pricing have not yet been published; the page is currently a save-the-date with confirmed dates and city.

• ✓CTOs and VPs of Engineering
• ✓Platform and infrastructure engineering teams
• ✓AI/ML engineers building agentic applications
• ✓Open source developers and MCP contributors
• ✓Enterprise architects evaluating agent governance
• ✓Security and compliance leads for AI systems

If your organisation is moving agents out of pilots, this is the room where the interoperability layer you will depend on gets decided. The Agentic AI Foundation governs MCP itself, so the specification changes that break or unblock your integrations are discussed here first, by the people who write them. The 2026 track list — evaluation and testing, security and governance, enterprise adoption in practice, multi-agent orchestration — maps directly onto the questions a platform team must answer before an agent touches a production system, and the workshops are hands-on rather than keynote theatre. It is also two days, not a week of travel.

• ✓Series track (2026 edition): Building Reliable Agent Systems — production architecture, debugging and resilience
• ✓Series track (2026 edition): Interoperability, Protocols & Standards — MCP, agent-to-agent protocols, shared specs, cross-framework compatibility
• ✓Series track (2026 edition): Evaluation and Testing — benchmarks and safety verification
• ✓Series track (2026 edition): Enterprise Adoption in Practice — governance and organisational integration
• ✓Series track (2026 edition): Multi-Agent and Distributed Systems — coordination and orchestration
• ✓Series track (2026 edition): Open Infrastructure and Tooling — runtimes, deployment platforms and developer tools
• ✓Series track (2026 edition): Agentic Payments — financial transaction protocols and security
• ✓Session formats (2026 edition): 25-minute sessions and panels plus 60-minute hands-on workshops

• ★Run by the Agentic AI Foundation, the neutral Linux Foundation body that actually governs MCP, goose and AGENTS.md — protocol decisions are made here rather than reported on afterwards.
• ★Paired with MCPCon, so specification work and production agent engineering are covered across the same two days instead of at separate events.
• ★The 2026 call for proposals was built around ten production-focused tracks — evaluation and testing, agent security and governance, enterprise adoption in practice, multi-agent orchestration — rather than a vendor demo showcase.
• ★Vendor-neutral by construction: the 2026 European edition drew keynote speakers from AWS, Anthropic, Google and Microsoft rather than a single vendor owning the stage.
• ★Runs 28-29 April 2027 in San Francisco, inside ICLR 2027's 26-30 April window at Moscone Center, so one trip can cover both the research and the production-agent side.
