Agentic Engineering Day NZ + Agentic AI Foundation — Pre-Conference Talks

Kia ora!

As part of Agentic Engineering Day New Zealand, we’re bringing the local AI engineering community together for an evening of talks, ideas and conversations about the rapidly evolving world of AI agents.

This is a free, community-driven event, organised in collaboration with the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) to support and grow the local community in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Agentic Engineering Day is an independent, community-driven conference for people building with AI — software engineers, architects, platform and infrastructure engineers, product people, and builders from non-technical backgrounds putting AI to work in real-world environments.

For this pre-conference event, we’ll hear from practitioners working across AI engineering, agents, infrastructure, etc.

Expect short, practical talks followed by plenty of time to connect with other people working in and around AI in New Zealand.

- Wednesday\, 21 October 2026
- From 4:15pm to 6:45pm
- Auckland\, New Zealand
- Free community event

The full agenda will be announced soon.

This event is part of the wider Agentic Engineering Day NZ programme:

20 October — Hands-on workshops
21 October — Workshops + Pre-Conference Talks
22 October — Main Conference Day at Aotea Centre

There’s no sales pitch and no vendor agenda — just people from the community sharing what they’re building, learning and thinking about.
Come along to learn, meet fellow engineers and builders, and help us grow the AI engineering community in New Zealand.

Everyone is welcome — whether you’re already building AI systems or simply curious about where things are heading.
