Agentic AI Summit 2026 Banner

Welcome to the Agentic AI Summit 2026, hosted by Berkeley RDI and Responsible Decentralized Intelligence Foundation.

Building on the momentum of our popular Agentic AI MOOC series—now a rapidly growing global community of almost 40,000 learners—and the success of the 2025 Agentic AI Summit, which brought together 2,000+ in-person attendees and 40,000+ virtual participants, we're excited to invite you to join us on August 1–2, 2026 for a two-day summit on the beautiful UC Berkeley campus.

If 2025 was widely recognized as the "Year of Agents," 2026 is poised to mark an even more explosive phase of growth for Agentic AI—across research, infrastructure, and industry deployment. The 2026 summit will continue and expand the vision of 2025: bringing together visionary leaders from academia, pioneering entrepreneurs, experts from leading AI organizations, venture capitalists, and policymakers to explore, discuss, and collaboratively shape the future of AI and Agentic AI.

This year, we anticipate an even broader and more deeply engaged gathering: ~5,000 in-person attendees, alongside a significantly expanded global livestream audience.

The 2026 Summit is designed to be the largest and most comprehensive event dedicated to Agentic AI—bringing together leaders across the full stack, from foundation models and agent frameworks to evaluation, infrastructure, and real-world deployment. The program will span cutting-edge research, wide-ranging applications across industries, and critical safety and security challenges—advancing the frontier of responsible and secure agentic AI systems.

Our goal is not merely to showcase the latest advancements, but to build bridges across communities and catalyze meaningful conversations and partnerships. Together, we'll navigate the path toward Agentic AI that doesn't just automate tasks, but actively empower individuals, enrich societies, and amplify human potential—helping lay the groundwork for a robust, safe, and transformative AI-powered future.

Dates:   August 1–2, 2026

Venue:   UC Berkeley Campus, Berkeley, CA
