Agent Engineers & Builders
Hands-on engineers designing runtimes, tool chains, eval harnesses, and on-call operations for agents.
Deep technical talks for the people who build and run agent systems.
San Francisco · April 2027 · date and venue to be announced
// our definition
Agent Engineering is the discipline of designing, building, evaluating, and operating AI agents.
Agent Engineering San Francisco is that discipline as a conference, our first in the city. It covers every kind of engineering behind AI agents and brings together agent labs, coding agent labs, model labs, inference labs and the engineers who build with them.
It follows Agent Engineering London 2026, a fully booked first edition with technical talks on a single track. Coming April 2027. The date and venue will be announced here.
This is a technical conference for people who ship agent systems. Expect architecture, debugging, evaluations, infrastructure trade-offs, and reliability conversations.
Hands-on engineers designing runtimes, tool chains, eval harnesses, and on-call operations for agents.
Shipping model integration, inference pipelines, eval workflows, and guardrails for live agent systems.
Building frameworks, SDKs, orchestration layers, observability, and deployment infrastructure for agent systems.
Owning API-level product surfaces, eval targets, and agent behavior quality across releases.
Leading technical teams building agent-native products or internal automation platforms.
Driving applied research in multi-agent architectures, reliability, and evaluation methodology.
A curated technical program, built around deep system walkthroughs, practical lessons, and hard engineering trade-offs.
Automatically optimize agents across all layers: prompts, RAG, protocols, memory, and context.
Designing machine-readable interfaces, environments, and feedback loops that shape Agent Experience.
How software development evolves as agents become first-class contributors to the SDLC.
Defining the business models for agentic AI. Does SaaS still work, or is FDE the only way forward? Explore and share business models.
AI system engineering keeps specializing. In practice, these disciplines converge in one place: Agent Engineering.

Agent Engineering
Agentic systems require more than prompts alone. They depend on prompts, context, harnesses, evals, memory, inference, loops, protocols, graphs, search, and code working together as one engineering discipline.
The same principles that made London 2026 a builders' day, brought to San Francisco.
Every talk is chosen for one reason: what engineers building agents actually need to hear. The programme is curated by engineers and stays with them, so the room is there to learn from the people doing the work. There are many Agent conferences. This one is truly yours.
--engineering-first
Technical talks on systems, architecture and engineering trade-offs, from people who build and run them.
--every-lab
Agent labs, coding agent labs, model labs and inference labs, alongside the engineers who build products on top of them.
--ships-a-tool
The conference has its own CLI, MCP server and A2A agent. Install agenteng and query the event from your terminal or your coding agent.
--builder-led
Speakers are invited for what they have built. Talks are about building, not sales, and the discussion is led by builders.
Speakers are invited by the programme team for the systems they have built and run.
The line-up will be announced here.
