Agentic Engineering Days Zurich 2026 is the conference for engineers building with and on agentic AI — one day, three talk tracks, a hands-on lab track, and a networking apéro, right at Zurich main station.

We bring together practitioners who ship real systems with AI agents and the builders creating the next generation of agentic platforms, tools, and products. Expect technical depth, honest experience reports, and a room full of engineers who want to go deeper than the demo.

From engineers, for engineers. Join us on 20 November 2026 at PH Zurich — step off the train, into the conference.

We are looking for sessions that help engineers build better with and on agentic AI — from coding assistants in production to autonomous agents running real workloads. Technical depth, engaging live demos, real world applications and honest lessons-learned are encouraged. Marketing pitches or "shallow overviews" will be rejected.


Tracks

Track 1 — Let it build: Using AI in the engineering loop. Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, agentic IDEs, code review bots, measuring impact, team rollouts, developer experience.

Track 2 — Build it: Building products and platforms on top of LLMs and agents. Multi-agent systems, orchestration, evals, MCP, RAG, tool use, safety, cost, production architectures.

Track 3 — Hands-On Labs: Guided, laptop-open sessions where attendees build something real in the room.

Further tracks (not available for the call for speakers):
Spotlight Track: Reserved for sponsors, vendors, and partners.
Panel Discussion: More details to come.

Session formats

Talk : 25 minutes plus Q&A.

Lightning talk: 5-7 minutes, no Q&A.

Hands-on lab: 90 minutes, participants bring a laptop and leave with something running. (Usage of Letsboot AI Labmachine possible - zero Setup Szenarios)

Audience

(Software|System|Platform|DevSecOps|...) engineers, tech leads, platform and infrastructure engineers, ML/AI engineers, CTOs, and architects — people who ship. Assume a technical audience with a broad spectrum of topic related know how: From Senior Software Engineers who never used a Coding Agent in Production to Engineers who built their own Harness running multiple agents.


Levels of expertise

From Senior Software Engineers who never used a Coding Agent in Production before to Engineers who built their own Harness running multiple agents.


Language

English preferred.


Speaker benefits

Free event ticket for the speaker

Invitation to the Speakers adventure in Zurich during the afternoon on the day before the conference
