AGNTCon + MCPCon Europe announced for Amsterdam, September 17-18

The Agentic AI Foundation has announced its 2026 global events program, with AGNTCon + MCPCon Europe set for Amsterdam on September 17-18, 2026. The foundation says registration is already open for the Amsterdam event, which will be one of the main gatherings in a broader year-long program for people building with agentic AI and MCP.

The Amsterdam conference is being positioned as the European anchor of the program. AGNTCon and MCPCon are conference brands focused on agentic systems, where software tools can plan tasks and take actions, and on MCP, short for Model Context Protocol, an open standard for connecting AI models to external tools and data sources.

The announcement follows the foundation's broader push to build a global event series around this ecosystem. Alongside the Europe event, AGNTCon + MCPCon North America is slated for October 2026, giving builders two major regional stops in the same year.

The organization also plans a set of regional MCP Dev Summits in ten cities around the world. The list includes Bengaluru, London, and Tokyo, which suggests the foundation is trying to reach developers where they already work rather than concentrating everything in one conference venue.

That matters because MCP has become a useful layer for connecting AI applications to the systems businesses already rely on. Instead of wiring each model or agent to every tool by hand, MCP gives teams a common interface for exposing things like files, databases, internal services, and developer tools.

For builders, that reduces the amount of custom glue code needed when they want an AI agent to do something practical. For companies, it also creates a more consistent way to think about access, permissions, and integration boundaries across different tools and vendors.

The Agentic AI Foundation has been organizing around that growing interest in agent infrastructure. Its conference branding makes clear that it sees agentic workflows and MCP as closely related topics, with conferences and developer summits serving as a way to bring together vendors, open source contributors, and teams deploying these systems.

Amsterdam is a sensible choice for a European anchor event. The city is a regular meeting point for international tech conferences, with strong travel links and a large concentration of product, infrastructure, and platform teams across Europe.

The September timing also gives the foundation room to build momentum through the rest of the year. By placing the Europe event in the fall and the North America event in October, the organization can keep the conversation going across regions rather than treating the calendar as a single one-off gathering.

The regional MCP Dev Summits are likely to be smaller and more focused than the flagship conferences. Those kinds of events usually center on hands-on talks, implementation details, and technical discussion, which is often where teams compare notes on how they are actually using emerging standards.

According to the foundation's announcement, the 2026 program will be anchored by the two flagship AGNTCon + MCPCon conferences and supported by the city-based summits. Registration for Amsterdam is now open through the event's official channels.
