One day at the Zurich Marriott Hotel on 20 November 2026: 40 sessions and 53 speakers on AI coding agents and agentic systems, on four tracks, with tickets sold out.
Agentic Engineering Days Zurich (AED) is a one-day conference for software engineers who build with and on AI agents, held at the Zurich Marriott Hotel. The organiser calls it Switzerland's AI coding and agents conference. The 2026 programme runs 40 sessions across four tracks: "Let it build" (using AI tools and agents to build software), "Build it" (building software powered by AI), "Spotlight" (sponsor and partner showcases) and Hands-On sessions. Themes include AI-assisted coding, agentic systems, coding agents, production and evaluations, MCP and agent protocols, and AI security. The organiser promises technical depth and honest experience reports, including what did not work.
Friday 20 November 2026, doors at 07:30 and the day ending at 19:00. Zurich Marriott Hotel, Neumühlequai 42, 8006 Zurich, Switzerland, about 500 metres from Zurich Main Station. Delegates enter through the north building at Wasserwerkstrasse 6, across the street from the hotel's congress entrance. A speaker and sponsor dinner (invite only) and a speaker excursion take place the day before, on 19 November.

This is the 2026 edition; the organiser does not describe earlier editions, and a prior edition was not found, so what changed cannot be stated. Earlier announcements listed 8 speakers and three tracks; the programme now shows 53 speakers, 40 sessions and four tracks, with Hands-On as the fourth track. The call for papers received 344 submissions from 38 countries. The organiser says there will be a call for papers again in 2027.
Timetable (preliminary; exact times and rooms are due at the end of October): 07:30 to 08:30 registration and welcome coffee; 08:30 to 09:15 opening and keynote; 09:15 to 12:00 morning talks and hands-on sessions; 12:00 to 13:00 lunch; 13:00 to 17:00 afternoon talks and hands-on sessions, including a panel moderated by Maxim Salnikov; 17:00 to 18:45 apéro with networking and drinks. The 40 sessions are 29 talks (25 minutes), 5 lightning talks (7 minutes), 5 hands-on sessions (75 to 90 minutes) and 1 panel discussion, of which 9 are marked Spotlight. Examples: building an SRE agent (David Pech, Wrike), Bedrock and AgentCore at scale (Sven Beck, BLP Digital, with Marco Kuendig, copebit), protocol standards for agents (Stefano Maestri and Alessio Soldano, IBM), and an ADK crash course (Abdel Sghiouar, Google Cloud).
25-minute talks, 7-minute lightning talks, 75-to-90-minute hands-on sessions (building agents, coding with agents), sponsor Spotlight talks, one panel discussion, a keynote, a village of sponsor stands, and an arcade and barista area. The ticket shop still describes hacking labs; the organiser's programme calls them Hands-On sessions.
Regular ticket: CHF 442 including 8.1% VAT, covering entry, talks, coffee breaks, lunch and the apéro. All ticket tiers (Blind Bird, Early Bird and Regular) are sold out. Early Bird was CHF 393 including VAT until 31 August 2026, according to earlier listings (unverifiable information), and is no longer shown on the live page. A waiting list is open: returned tickets go to it first, and the last release is on 10 November 2026, at the regular price. A 20% group discount applies from 3 tickets and cannot be combined with discount codes. Sponsor packages include tickets.
The 2026 call for papers closed on 23 July 2026, after 344 submissions from 38 countries; 40+ sessions with 53+ speakers were selected. A new call is planned for 2027, and the organiser asks interested speakers to subscribe for the 2027 dates. Submissions were handled on Sessionize.
Request sponsoring information on the website; the organiser says the last sponsor slots are available and that tickets are included. Tiers shown are Main, Gold, Silver and Bronze sponsors, plus End User, Hands-On, Education and Community partners. Partner management is handled by Philipp Meier. No price list is published.
From the venue map: copebit (main sponsor); AWS, TD SYNNEX and Exasol (gold); re:cinq and Flagsmith (silver); Noser Engineering and Keera (bronze); FHNW Hochschule für Informatik (educational partner); letsboot.ch (organiser). The sponsors strip also shows Migros Online (end-user partner), OpenAI (hands-on session partner), Atlassian, namespace, adesso, BI Concepts, Peak Scale, Puzzle ITC, Team Extension, Trustsoft and Your Sidekicks AG, whose exact tier is not readable from the page. Community partners: AI & ML Events, All Day AI, CH Open, dev.events, Java User Group Switzerland, Rocket Engineers, SwissAIJob, SwissDevJobs and ZurichJS Conference. None is labelled as a media partner.
No breakdown is published. The sponsors are mostly Swiss and European IT services and tooling firms (copebit, adesso, Noser, Keera, re:cinq, Puzzle ITC) alongside cloud and data vendors (AWS, TD SYNNEX, Exasol, Atlassian, Flagsmith), with Swiss enterprises such as Migros Online, Swiss Post, Swisscom and Swiss Life among the speakers.
Not publicly disclosed. No press page or accreditation form was found. The only contact published is info@agenticdays.com.
None found in the sourced material for the 2026 edition.
Nothing to classify. No independent coverage or media partner was found, so all descriptions of the programme rest on the organiser's own site.
Anyone without a ticket: all tiers are sold out and only the waiting list remains. Researchers hoping to speak in 2026: the call closed on 23 July 2026. Business leaders without a hands-on engineering role: the organiser positions the day as engineers for engineers. Visitors seeking a large vendor expo: the sponsor village sits in two rooms of the hotel.
It is a one-day November event in Switzerland, run by a training company (letsboot.ch) and supported by Swiss community partners such as CH Open, Java User Group Switzerland and ZurichJS Conference. The organiser invites readers to request an edition in their city, which shows plans for other cities but no confirmed dates. No neighbouring events are listed on the site.
No other edition is announced. The website invites visitors to say if they want Agentic Engineering Days in their city, and a page for that request exists. The 2026 edition is the one documented.
The website, programme and session titles are in English. Which sessions, if any, are in German is not stated.
Not publicly disclosed. No livestream or recording offer was found. The event is in person at the Zurich Marriott Hotel.
Not publicly disclosed. No refund terms were found on the ticket shop. The organiser says a ticket holder who cannot come can send the ticket to a colleague, or tell info@agenticdays.com so it goes to the waiting list.
Not publicly disclosed. No accessibility statement was found. The venue map describes escalators, stairs and a skywalk on the route to the welcome desk, but does not describe step-free access. Ask info@agenticdays.com before booking.
By train is recommended: go to Zürich HB, then walk about 8 minutes to Wasserwerkstrasse 6 (the north building entrance). By bus, take bus 46 from Bahnhofquai/HB one stop to Stampfenbachplatz, then walk about 4 minutes; the organiser says this is barely faster than walking. No parking can be reserved, and the hotel's public car park and nearby car parks will most likely be full early. A cloakroom is staffed and the welcome desk issues badges, reached by the skywalk.
Because it is a compact, practitioner-led day: 40 sessions with 25-minute talks, hands-on sessions, speakers from OpenAI, Hugging Face, NVIDIA and AWS, and a programme selected from 344 submissions. For a Swiss or Central European engineer working with coding agents, it offers one day of depth near the main station, though a ticket now means joining the waiting list.
Because the organiser publishes no attendance figure, and the counts on its pages move: 53+ speakers and 40+ sessions are marked as still growing, and the schedule is preliminary until the end of October. The earlier announcement of 8 speakers and three tracks is out of date. The tickets are sold out, so prices apply only to the waiting list at CHF 442. Reconfirm times and rooms on the schedule page before you travel.
