Introducing Global AI Conference: AgentCon's next chapter
AgentCon is now Global AI Conference. After more than 60 stops on six continents, the free, community-run conference for AI agent builders returns in 2027 with a ten-city World Tour, starting in Copenhagen on 26 January.
Since April 2025, AgentCon has traveled the world. What started in Utrecht grew into a tour of more than 60 stops on six continents, from San Francisco to Mukono and from Rio de Janeiro to Singapore, every one of them run by a local Global AI chapter. Thousands of builders came together to show their work, debug live demos and leave with agents that actually run.
Today we're taking the next step. AgentCon is now Global AI Conference, and the 2027 World Tour is open.
Why a new name
AgentCon was always more than a conference brand. It was the community showing up in city after city. The new name puts that community front and center: Global AI Conference is organized by the Global AI Community, run by local chapters and made for the builders in each city. The focus stays exactly where it was, on the developers, engineers and researchers who are building with AI agents, not just talking about them.
What stays the same
Everything people loved about AgentCon comes along:
- Free, for everyone. Every Global AI Conference is free to attend, in every city. Local partners cover the venue, coffee and lunch.
- Small on purpose. Each stop brings together 150 to 300 builders. Big enough for great content, small enough to actually talk to the people on stage.
- Learn it on stage, build it in the room. Live demos of agents running for real, deep dives on orchestration, memory, evals (automated evaluations of agent quality), tool use and security, and hands-on workshops where you bring a laptop and leave with an agent you built yourself.
- Local by design. Every stop is organized by the local Global AI chapter, with local speakers and a local accent.

Get involved
Speak. Each city runs its own call for speakers, opening 12 weeks before the event. First-time speakers are very welcome. Have you shipped an agent, broken one in production or built something worth demoing? Submit a talk.
Sponsor. Share something practical with 150 to 300 builders per city. Companies can sponsor a single city, or support six or more stops and become a Global Tour Sponsor. See how sponsoring works.
Join your local chapter. With 199 chapters in 75 countries and more than 206,000 members, there's likely one near you. Find your local chapter and meet the people organizing your city's stop.
Thank you
None of this happens without the people behind it. Thank you to the volunteer crews who organized every AgentCon stop, to the speakers who shared their work and to every attendee who showed up with a laptop and questions.
A special thanks to our global tour sponsors Neo4j, Solace, CircleCI, n8n, Progress and Docusign, to our partners WeAreDevelopers, CODE Magazine and KCDC, and to the more than 100 local companies, universities and communities that made each city its own.
As one attendee at AgentCon Rio de Janeiro put it after their day: they learned a lot and saw that this is the future of software development. We can't wait to build that future with you in 2027.
See you on tour.
