About This Event
Agentic AI Summit 2027 is a two-day conference on AI agents in San Francisco, California, on August 20-21, 2027, hosted by the Berkeley Center for Responsible, Decentralized Intelligence (RDI) and the RDI Foundation. The program covers foundation models, agent frameworks, evaluation, infrastructure, safety, security, governance and large-scale deployment. The 2026 edition ran on four UC Berkeley campus venues on August 1-2, 2026, and RDI puts its turnout at about 4,000 in person plus more than 100,000 virtual participants. The in-person allocation sold out. For 2027 the summit moves off campus to San Francisco. Speaker proposal guidelines have not been published yet, and the venue address is released only to registrants.

Why Attend
If your teams are moving agents from pilots into production, this summit puts the researchers who build agent frameworks and evaluation methods in the same rooms as the companies deploying them. A CTO or head of AI can benchmark their evaluation, security and governance practices against what Berkeley's systems and security groups are publishing, meet founders building agent infrastructure, and come away with a clearer view of which agent architectures are holding up at scale. Book early: the 2026 in-person capacity sold out.
