QCon AI Boston 2027

QCon AI Boston 2027 is a two-day, in-person conference on production AI engineering, held July 8-9, 2027 at the George Sherman Union, Boston University, 775 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts. C4Media, the team behind InfoQ and QCon, runs it. The program is organized around six areas: agent runtime design, context engineering, evals and observability, MCP and tool access, zero-trust agent security, and inference cost and latency. Sponsored sessions are labeled separately from the main program. The audience is senior: the organizer says 76% of attendees are senior developers or above, architects, leads or engineering managers, with one speaker for every eleven attendees. The 2026 edition ran June 1-2 at the same venue, with speakers from DoorDash, LinkedIn, Netflix, Apple and Red Hat.

• ✓Senior and Staff+ software engineers
• ✓Software architects
• ✓ML and AI engineers
• ✓Platform engineers
• ✓Security engineers
• ✓Engineering managers and CTOs

Send the engineering leads who own your agent and LLM platform. The six program areas cover the decisions that stall enterprise AI between pilot and production: how long-running agents hold state, how tool access through MCP is secured, how output is evaluated and monitored, and what inference costs at scale. Speakers at the 2026 edition came from DoorDash, LinkedIn, Netflix, Apple and Red Hat, so the material comes from teams already running these systems. The pass is $995 if bought before November 10, 2026, rising in steps to $1,695.

• ✓Agent Runtime Design
• ✓Context Engineering
• ✓Evals and Observability
• ✓MCP and Tool Access
• ✓Zero-Trust Agent Security
• ✓Inference Cost and Latency

• ★Practitioner-led QCon format from the InfoQ team, with sponsored sessions labeled separately from the main program
• ★Senior audience: the organizer reports 76% of attendees are senior developers or above, architects, leads or engineering managers
• ★Small enough for one speaker per eleven attendees, so speakers are reachable between sessions
• ★Narrow production focus: InfoQ's 2026 coverage centered on agent harnesses, context management, evals and inference economics rather than model announcements
