Agent Engineering London (AgentEng London) is a one-day technical conference on the systems work behind production AI agents. The Founders Edition brings CEOs, CTOs, founders and directors from Europe’s agent infrastructure companies onto a single track at Everyman, Canary Wharf, on Friday 16 October 2026.
The day is organised by Agent Engineering HQ with London Agentic AI, and produced by Superagentic AI.
Why AgentEng London exists
Production agent systems depend on more than model choice. Reliable behaviour comes from the engineering layer around the model: how intent is specified, how context is assembled, how tools and runtimes are harnessed, how memory persists, how retrieval is planned, how evaluation gates releases, and how protocols connect agents to editors and other systems.
Agent Engineering treats that stack as one discipline. It covers prompt engineering, context engineering, harness engineering, eval engineering, memory engineering, inference engineering, loop engineering, protocol engineering (including MCP, ACP and A2A), graph engineering, search engineering, and code engineering for coding agents.
AgentEng London is that discipline as a conference day: ten technical sessions, one room, one shared conversation.

Further speakers
Four additional talks are still being confirmed for the ten-session programme. Remaining speakers will be announced on a rolling basis at the same bar: founders, CEOs, CTOs and directors building agent infrastructure, with technical sessions grounded in production systems.
Programme decisions stay separate from sponsorship. Speaking slots are invited on technical fit.
