The Agentic AI Foundation was built on a simple premise: the protocols, tools, and standards shaping agentic AI should belong to everyone. Projects like MCP, Goose, AGENTS.md, and agentgateway emerged from a community of contributors who chose to build in the open — when it wasn’t obvious what the ecosystem would become.
The AAIF Technical Excellence Awards are how we say thank you. No cash prizes — just the recognition of your peers, a custom-engraved plaque, and an on-stage moment. The AAIF Annual Technical Excellence Awards are administered by The Linux Foundation.
Don’t miss the award winner announcement, taking place on Day 2 Keynotes at AGNTCon + MCPCon North America on Friday, October 23.
