// our definition
Agent Engineering is the discipline of designing, building, evaluating, and operating AI agents reliably in production. It focuses on the engineering aspects of the Agent Development Lifecycle, including prompt, context, harness, inference, memory, evaluation, and code engineering practices.
AgentEng (Agent Engineering Conference) is the first conference dedicated to the engineering practices behind production-grade AI agents of every kind, from coding agents and research agents to customer-facing agents, domain-specific agents, and autonomous multi-agent systems.
As agents become core to how software and businesses are built, the engineer's role shifts from writing code to directing, reviewing, and orchestrating the agents that do the work.
Agents have their own development cycle, the Agent Development Lifecycle (ADLC), covering build, test, deploy, and monitor with iteration and governance running throughout. The conference covers every aspect of the ADLC and the tools, frameworks, and infrastructure that support it.
We bring together practitioners doing this in production, working with real constraints, real trade-offs, and real systems.
