This is what we built last year.

AI Agents Summit 2025 — the people, ideas and energy that started it all.

Live Stage · 18 June

Agent Arena

Autonomous agents compete in real-world challenges with transparent rules, public leaderboards, and verifiable outcomes. Live on stage. No safety nets. This is capability proof, not a demo reel.

18 June · Spielfeld Hub

What you'll leave knowing.

The Agent Arena day on 18 June is built around five topics that define where agentic AI is headed. Full speaker lineup announced mid-June.

01
State of the agentic economy
Where the market actually stands in 2026 — deployments, capital flows, and the gap between narrative and reality. The clearest picture available anywhere.
Market · Economics
02
Agents vs. workflows — live demo
A practical, live demonstration showing exactly where autonomous agents outperform fixed workflows — and where they still fall short. Not theory. Not slides.
Demo · Technical
03
Agentic payments: benefits, risks & security
How agents handle value transfer — and what could go wrong. A frank look at the infrastructure, attack surfaces, and trust models underpinning the agentic economy.
Payments · Security
04
Future of agentic commerce
How autonomous agents become the base layer of digital commerce — from automated procurement to agent-to-agent transactions and the infrastructure required to support it.
Commerce · Infrastructure
05
Agent identity & trustless agents (ERC-8004)
Who is responsible when an agent acts? How ERC-8004 approaches on-chain agent identity, verifiable credentials, and what trustless autonomy means in practice.
Identity · Web3 · ERC-8004
