We’re looking for venue hosts, organizers, and anyone who wants to help grow the AAIF events community. [Raise your hand and tell us how you’d like to take part](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScuUbCYJc9JNidWZpjQJXaxr2aFHYG5vFh9jJ0JxxaTahK7KA/viewform?pli=1).

The Agentic AI Foundation is where the agentic stack is being built, and it’s evolving so fast that the only way to really keep up is to hear it straight from the people building it. Nothing replaces the connections you make in person or the learning that happens hands-on, alongside the people actually doing the work.

We’re building what we want to become the largest slate of community-powered agentic AI events in the world, and we want you in on the ground floor.

The idea is a global series of in-person events, hosted by local chapters everywhere, where community members share what they’re learning as they build agents and trade best practices in the open — no vendor pitches, no conference-stage gloss.

The goal is a community of people on the same wavelength: the ones asking the hard questions before any of us have the answers. Together, we can shape agentic AI and its standards around what actually works while having some fun and meeting great people along the way.

The AAIF is young and growing fast, with over 200 member companies including Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, AWS, Bloomberg, Block, and Cloudflare, alongside dozens of startups. But a movement doesn’t happen from the top down, nor do we want it to. It takes people operating at the local, grassroots level.

If you want to be part of what we’re building — an open agentic AI stack for now and the future —[ fill out the form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScuUbCYJc9JNidWZpjQJXaxr2aFHYG5vFh9jJ0JxxaTahK7KA/viewform?pli=1) and let us know what you’d like to bring to the party. Organize an event, offer a venue, or just get on the mailing list so we can keep you posted. Can’t wait to see you IRL.
