Best Agentic AI Speakers in the USA (2026)

US enterprises have evolved beyond basic prompting. In 2026, the focus is on production-grade agentic AI systems: intelligent orchestration, robust evaluations, governance, advanced RAG pipelines, tool integration, and safe scaling.

This curated roster of trainers brings technical depth + measurable business outcomes. Ideal for US conferences, corporate offsites, CXO briefings, and hands-on team enablement programs.

What "Agentic AI Training" Really Means in 2026

Forget flashy demos — the best training builds repeatable, production-ready systems:

• ✅ Prompt engineering → Standardized SOPs, templates, eval harnesses

• ✅ Agentic workflows → Multi-step automation, tool-use, guardrails, observability

• ✅ RAG + knowledge assistants → Retrieval grounding, citation accuracy, policy enforcement

• ✅ Evaluation & observability → Quality metrics, safety thresholds, drift detection, A/B testing

• ✅ Responsible AI & governance → Privacy, compliance, human-in-the-loop (HITL), red-teaming

• ✅ Enterprise integration → Embedding AI into daily business tools and operating rhythms

2026 reality check: "Agentic" isn't just a keynote buzzword. Top sessions teach teams to design workflows, connect tools, and ship safe, repeatable systems that deliver ROI.
