What is Agent Engineering Conference?

// definition

Agent Engineering is the discipline of designing, evaluating, and orchestrating non-deterministic AI systems using explicit specification, feedback loops, and operational guardrails.

AgentEng (Agent Engineering Conference) is world's first conference dedicated to engineering disciplines behind Agentic AI, from intelligent specification and strategic orchestration to evaluation, memory, and context.

We focus on what actually works in production. Real constraints. Real tradeoffs. Real systems.

We bring together practitioners building production-grade agentic systems to define how AI agents are designed, operated, orchestrated and scaled.

Backed by 1,400+ builders from the London Agentic AI community

The Agent Engineering Manifesto

Models don't read minds. Agent engineering is the discipline of specifying, designing, building, and orchestrating intelligent systems.

Building Agentic AI for production is fundamentally different from traditional software. Every input is an edge case. As foundation models become more capable and increasingly commoditized, the real differentiator shifts to Agent Engineering, the discipline of designing, operating, and orchestrating non-deterministic Agentic AI systems reliably.

Agentic AI emerges when engineering decisions around context, memory, evaluation, orchestration, and tooling and infrastructure are intentionally designed as a modular, future-proof system.

Intelligent specification, human-in-the-loop oversight, and strategic orchestration are foundational.

AgentEng exists to define, share, and advance the engineering behind Agentic AI.

The Agent Engineering Mindset

Non-Determinism

Agentic AI doesn't conform to software reliability. Embrace unpredictability as a feature, not a flaw.

learn more →

Intelligent Specification

Models won't read minds. Clear specs are foundational. Better planning yields better agents.

learn more →

Every Input is an Edge Case

Users can ask anything. Traditional testing fails. Ship to learn, not to be perfect.

learn more →

Strategic Orchestration

Allocating compute, liquidity, and human review efficiently is critical. Manage resources at scale.

learn more →

The Reviewer Framework

Engineering the transition from writing code to architecting agentic reviewers. Focus on validation loops and automated PR gates.

learn more →

Agent Networking

Agents must communicate intelligently. Parallel and sequential workflows prevent conflicts and overlap.

Core Engineering Themes

These engineering disciplines form the backbone of production-grade Agentic AI systems.

>agenteng --themes --list
🧩

Code Engineering

How agents write, modify, and reason over code. Explores autonomous coding systems, IDE-native agents, and agent-driven refactoring workflows.

explore →
🧪

Eval Engineering

How we measure agent behavior in non-deterministic systems. Covers evaluation frameworks, behavioral testing, and reliability guardrails.

explore →
🧠

Memory Engineering

How agents store, retrieve, and evolve state over time. Covers short-term vs long-term memory, retrieval strategies, and personalization.

explore →
🧭

Context & Skills Engineering

The art and science of shaping what an agent sees at runtime. Includes MCP (Model Context Protocol), context construction, compression, and grounding techniques.

explore →
🧰

Harness Engineering

Defines the execution environment around an agent. Wires models to tools, policies, sandboxes, and execution constraints.

explore →
🔗

Multi-Agent Engineering

Focuses on collaboration between agents. Covers communication protocols, task decomposition, and coordination strategies.

AgentEng Program Chair

The Curator's Note

"Prior to founding the AgentEng community, I spent six years on the Developer Experience team at Apple (London/Cupertino), building tools and frameworks used by internal OS developers. In 2025, I launched Superagentic AI as my focus shifted from Developer Experience to Agent Experience, building developer tools for agents and conducting research on agent optimization. I established this conference from the London Agentic AI community to bridge the gap between London and Silicon Valley, sharing best practices for engineering AI agents as intelligence becomes cheap."
