Leading up to our Spring 2026 Agent World Congress, we will be hosting a series of hands-on workshops to help people learn about and build AI agents. We are jump-starting the next generation of builders who will create the foundation of the Agentic Web.

To better serve our community and help people connect with the best resources, we will provide MCPs with member and company data that can help discover synergies within our community, along with affiliated technical communities.

Our recipe

  • Every two weeks have a hands-on agent building workshop. At the workshop we help participants use a technology showcased by a speaker to create or improve an agent. All workshop code will be available in a Github repo.
  • Make participant, speaker, and sponsor company information available with MCP and A2A so attendees can find the best people to talk with.
  • Always have a separate hallway area for conversations that does not interfere with the main presentation.

Event Format

  • 5:00-6:00 Open networking
  • 6:00-6:10 Introductions and Weekly Agent Update
  • 6:10-6:20 Keynote
  • 6:20-6:35 Featured Tech Deep Dive
  • 6:35-7:00 Lightening Workshop (all others can talk in the hallway)
  • TBD: Show and Tell: 2 minute demo + 2 minute tech overview of how it worked
  • 7:00-8:00 Open networking

Workshop Checklist
