One-day developer conference in the Global AI Agents World Tour series, bringing together engineers and researchers actively building with AI agents in the Netherlands for talks, workshops and hands-on demos on autonomous AI systems.
AgentCon Utrecht is the Netherlands stop on the AgentCon World Tour, a free community-driven conference series running across 63 cities and 36 countries. Organised by local volunteer chapters of the Global AI Community, it is designed for practitioners who are actively shipping AI agent systems rather than observing the field. The Utrecht edition runs for one day at a conference estate near Utrecht, drawing developers, ML engineers and AI researchers building with agent frameworks and large language models.
The AgentCon World Tour exists because the technical community building production AI agents is fragmented across geographies and company types. Local editions like Utrecht give practitioners a low-cost, no-marketing-noise forum to share what actually works in deployment, discuss failure modes, and connect with peers doing similar work in the same region. The free format removes the budget barrier that keeps many individual contributors out of commercial AI conferences.
The programme follows the World Tour format: deep-dive talks from practitioners, technical workshops with live demonstrations, and informal breakout sessions. Confirmed content areas include agent design patterns, deployment and scaling considerations, autonomous system integration, and tooling for building reliable agent pipelines. Sessions are delivered in English.
Gold sponsors for the Utrecht edition: Solace, Microsoft, Capgemini. The Global AI Community itself provides the series infrastructure.
The Agents World Tour is a series of free, one-day community conferences organised by local chapters of the Global AI Community in cities across North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America. Each event follows a common format: practitioner talks, workshops, demos and networking. The series has delivered over 250 hours of technical content across its locations.
AgentCon Utrecht is distinct from commercial AI events. It is part of a global volunteer-run series, not a standalone national conference. The Global AI Community runs other events in the Netherlands through its local chapters. Other developer-focused AI events in the Netherlands include conferences such as PyData or Data Saturday Holland.
The 2026 edition is held at Landgoed de Horst (Building Maitland), a conference estate in Driebergen-Rijsenburg, roughly 15 km south-east of Utrecht city centre. The estate provides event rooms and outdoor space suited to community gatherings. The postcode is 3971 KR Driebergen.
The Global AI Community is a volunteer-driven network founded in 2018 to connect developers and researchers working with AI. It operates through local chapters in dozens of cities, each organising meetups, hackathons and conference events. The Utrecht chapter hosts AgentCon Utrecht as part of the global Agents World Tour series. The organisation does not have a commercial publisher model: events are free and run by community members.
AgentCon Utrecht fills a specific gap: a free, practitioner-only developer forum in the Netherlands at a moment when most AI events in the region are either commercial summits or executive briefings.
Registration is free. The event is open to any developer, engineer or researcher in the AI agent space. Registration is managed through the Global AI Community platform at the event page. As of June 2026, the event takes place on 25 June, so registration for this edition is closed; check globalai.community for future AgentCon editions.
The event follows an informal community format with open networking between sessions. There is no dedicated matchmaking platform or pre-scheduled meeting tool. The Global AI Community maintains active channels on LinkedIn, YouTube and X for post-event content distribution, including session recordings where available.
Yes. All AgentCon World Tour editions, including Utrecht, are free to attend. The Global AI Community is a non-commercial volunteer organisation; sponsorships from Solace, Microsoft and Capgemini cover venue and logistics costs.
The venue is in Driebergen-Rijsenburg, accessible by train from Utrecht Centraal to Driebergen-Zeist station (approximately 15 minutes), then a short bus or taxi ride to the estate. Check NS (Dutch rail) for connections.
The Global AI Community publishes recordings from its events on its YouTube channel at youtube.com/@globalaicommunity. Not all sessions are recorded at every location; check the channel after the event date.
