AGNTCon + MCPCon Japan: Advancing Open Agentic AI Standards

The Linux Foundation's Agentic AI Foundation is gathering developers and industry leaders in Tokyo. They will discuss the standards, security, and infrastructure needed for production-ready AI agents. The event, AGNTCon + MCPCon Japan 2026, takes place on September 10th and 11th. It aims to move AI agents from experimental projects to reliable production systems. The conference will focus on technologies and infrastructure for interoperable agent environments. Over 40 sessions will cover topics like multi-agent coordination, security, and enterprise governance. A key area of discussion is using open-source technologies to build agent infrastructure. Sessions will explore combining components like orchestration layers and identity systems for production-ready environments. The event will also look at the Model Context Protocol, which connects AI agents with external tools. This matters because it helps develop vendor-neutral infrastructure and standards for agentic applications, encouraging safer, interoperable solutions.
