What is Agent Engineering Conference?

// 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.

Backed by nearly 5,000 builders from the London Agentic AI community

From Prompt Engineering to Agent Engineering

AI system engineering keeps specializing in production. In practice, these disciplines converge in one place: Agent Engineering.

Agent Engineering

Production agentic systems require more than prompt engineering. They depend on context, harnesses, evals, memory, skills, guardrails, inference, and agentic orchestration working together as one engineering discipline.

fit: Companies working on context optimisation and context windowing.

>

Harness Engineering

The infra around the model: tool runtimes, sandboxes, agent loops.

fit: Companies innovating on agent harnesses and coding harnesses.

>

Memory Engineering

Long-term, short-term, episodic, and semantic memory in agents, including tool search and retrieval over that memory.

fit: Agent-memory and memory-architecture companies, vector databases, and retrieval platforms.

>

Skills Engineering

Designing, packaging, and composing reusable agent skills and tools.

fit: Companies building skill libraries, skill registries, and tool-composition platforms.

>

Inference Engineering

Serving, scaling, and optimising model inference for agentic workloads.

fit: Inference platforms, model-serving companies, and teams optimising agent latency and cost.

>

Orchestration Engineering

Multi-agent coordination, planning, and control flow at scale.

fit: Companies building agent runtimes and orchestration layers.

>

Eval Engineering

Measuring agent behaviour: regressions, traces, replay, scoring.

fit: Companies building agent observability and evaluation platforms.

>

Guardrails Engineering

Safety, policy, refusal, and tool-use boundaries in production.

fit: Companies focused on guardrails and runtime agent safety.

>

Agentic Engineering

Automating the entire software development lifecycle and engineering with AI agents.

fit: Teams and companies automating software engineering itself with AI agents.

Applications open now. Early bird tickets launching soon.

Technical Speakers. Agent Engineering Talks.

We invite agent builders, researchers, operators, and practitioners working on production-grade agentic systems. We are looking for technically grounded talks on how agents are designed, evaluated, deployed, and operated. Demos and live walkthroughs are welcome when useful, but the core requirement is engineering depth.

Format: technical talks, system walkthroughs, and practical lessons
🧭
--technical-talks

Technical Talks

We are looking for clear engineering talks on agent systems: architecture, orchestration, evals, memory, tools, context, and production tradeoffs.

Demos, traces, logs, or workflows are welcome when they make the technical point sharper.

🧪
--system-walkthrough

System Walkthroughs

Talks can walk through real systems, architectures, evaluation pipelines, operational lessons, or design decisions from building agents.

⚙️
--production-signals

Production Signals

Where you can, reference real system behaviour: latency, reliability, cost, evaluation results. The more grounded in reality, the better.

Speakers are invited for production stories, technical arguments, and engineering lessons from real agent systems.
