⌖ Location TBC · Private winery estate, Loudoun County, Virginia (Leesburg area)

Hosted by Modev

The Global Agentic AI Summit brings together 1,500+ builders, enterprise leaders, and AI visionaries for three immersive days exploring the autonomous intelligence revolution. Set on a private winery estate in Loudoun County, Virginia — home to Data Center Alley, the world's largest concentration of cloud infrastructure — this isn't your typical tech conference. Three Critical Tracks The summit addresses three defining vectors of the autonomous AI economy through dedicated programming tracks: Agentic AI explores autonomous systems that plan, decide, and act independently. Sessions cover enterprise-scale agent deployment, single-agent workflows, multi-agent orchestration, reasoning and planning architectures, memory and context systems, and AI assistants that autonomously execute complex workflows. Physical AI examines embodied intelligence moving from datacenters into the real world. Expect deep dives into robotics, edge AI deployment, autonomous drones, AI-powered prosthetics, manufacturing automation, and the next generation of human-machine collaboration in logistics and defense applications. Sovereign AI addresses national AI infrastructure, data sovereignty, and the geopolitics of autonomous systems. Topics include how governments and enterprises build AI capability they control, critical infrastructure protection, defense AI applications, and national AI policy frameworks. World-Class Speaker Lineup 75+ speakers represent the builders actually deploying agentic systems at scale. The lineup spans enterprise AI leaders from Cox Communications, McKesson, and Navy Federal Credit Union; government innovators from the U.S. Department of the Navy and Library of Congress; media AI pioneers from USA TODAY; and founders driving the agentic revolution forward. Every speaker brings real-world deployment experience — no theoretical talks, just practical insights from the trenches. Comprehensive Topic Coverage The program addresses 54 distinct categories across core AI infrastructure, security and trust, developer tools, workforce transformation, and emerging applications. Technical sessions cover coding agents, vector databases, foundation models, orchestration frameworks like OpenClaw, observability and monitoring, model deployment, and guardrails for safe AI operation. Developer-focused content explores SDKs and APIs for building agentic systems, testing and evaluation frameworks, multimodal AI implementations,

Women Who Build is a hands-on building evening in Dublin on 6 October 2026, helping women and curious creators turn ideas into working projects. Hosted by Give(a)Go, this practical three-hour session creates the time, space and supportive atmosphere you need to make progress on something of your own. Rather than spending the evening listening to talks, you’ll bring a laptop, choose an idea and get building alongside an ambitious community in Dublin. You do not need a polished concept or particular technical background to take part. The event celebrates women across every field, but everyone is welcome regardless of background, discipline or skill level. If you have been waiting for permission, momentum or a clear evening in your calendar to begin a project, this is an opportunity to start. If you do not yet have an idea, the hosts will help you find one. What you could build Your project can be professional, entrepreneurial, community-focused or entirely personal. Possibilities suggested by the organisers include: - A portfolio that reflects who you are and what you do - A landing page for a new project or business - A small tool that solves an everyday frustration - A website for a community, cause or personal interest - The side project you have repeatedly put off The focus is on turning an idea into something tangible. You can arrive at any stage, from a blank page to an existing project that needs a dedicated push, and use the main build session in whatever way is most useful to you. Evening schedule - 6:00pm: Doors open - 6:20pm: Welcome and introductions - 6:40pm: Focused build time - 8:20pm: Networking and wind-down - 9:00pm: Close Networking is optional. If you would rather concentrate on building throughout the evening, tell a host and they will help make sure you have the space to focus. The session is hosted by Give(a)Go alongside Micaela Serraiocco and Avanti Rao. Give(a)Go is one of Ireland’s largest builder communities, connecting more than 2,500 engineers, founders and product people through hands-on prototyping events.
