AgentCon, an initiative of the Global AI Community, is a free, community-driven world tour focused on AI agents. The Global AI Community is a worldwide network of local communities, community leaders, and AI enthusiasts who come together to share knowledge, organize events, and make artificial intelligence more accessible to everyone. Through practical sessions, demos, and conversations, AgentCon brings developers, engineers, researchers, and practitioners together to explore AI agents in an approachable and hands-on way. 

Across 65 events worldwide, AgentCon has already brought together more than 12,000 attendees. From a 450-person gathering at the Computer History Museum, to ringing the Nasdaq opening bell in Times Square, to large-scale events in Berlin, Singapore, and beyond, AgentCon shows how communities, partners, start-ups, and technology leaders are coming together to make AI agents tangible through learning, demos, and real-world exploration.  

What makes this global effort especially impactful is how each local community shapes the experience for its own audience, reflecting local needs while contributing to a shared worldwide learning journey. The series also reflects collaboration across the broader technology ecosystem, bringing together communities, partners, start-ups, and technology leaders around a shared interest in AI agents. 

Across these events, MVPs play a key role in connecting the global AgentCon initiative with local communities. They bring technical depth, field experience, and community leadership to sessions that help attendees move from curiosity to practical understanding. 

Making AI Agents Practical and Approachable 

AI agents are no longer just a future concept. They are already reshaping how developers, architects, and organizations design, automate, and build solutions. AgentCon gives attendees a practical way to understand this shift by exploring what AI agents are, where they can be applied, and how to start building with them responsibly and effectively: 

• Making advanced concepts approachable through live demos and hands‑on labs  

• Connecting theory with real‑world use cases, from productivity to automation  

• Creating safe, inclusive spaces for learning, asking questions, and experimenting. 

Voices from the Community  

“AgentCon in Cologne made it a very important day for our local community. We hosted the event at BarmeniaGothaer, one of Germany’s largest insurance companies actively creating and using AI agents. This allowed the community to learn directly from real‑world scenarios and practitioners.” MVP and RD Raphael Köllner 

“AgentCon Chennai was special because it gave our local community a chance to explore AI agents together in a very hands‑on way. What excited me most was seeing students, 

professionals, and researchers all learning side by side, and the energy in the room was incredible. My biggest takeaway was how quickly people realized that agentic systems are not just theory—they’re tools we can start building with today.” MVP Saravanan Ganesan

“The best thing about exploring AI agents together is the interest and the ‘wow’ feeling of the audience when AI agents demos were presented by different speakers in different contexts.” MVP Hassan Fadili

How MVPs Help Bring AgentCon to Life 

MVPs are helping bring AgentCon to life by contributing their expertise, community leadership, and practical experience across events around the world: 

• Technical leadership: MVPs share concrete implementations, best practices, and lessons learned from working with AI agents and related technologies.  

• Knowledge sharing: Sessions often combine code walkthroughs, architecture discussions, and live Q&A, encouraging curiosity and dialogue.  


• Community building: Many events are organized in collaboration with user groups, meetups, and local tech communities, extending reach beyond the MVP Program itself.
