Agentic Internet Workshop* #2

* An Internet Identity Workshop Inspired Event, Hosted by the IIW Foundation(IIW #42 is April 28-30, 2026)

The AgenticAI space is developing rapidly. Significant innovation is happening around protocols for how agents connect to each other, people, organizations, services, and things.

The goal of this workshop is to bring organizations, companies and individuals working on Agentic AI Protocols together to advance the field in a productive and generative manner.

We are considering for this 2nd event hosting an Interop Day for protocols on April 30th during the last day of IIW.

What is the value of participation?

• Share what you are building with the protocols and discuss how to improve them.
• Discern if there is alignment for future work and collaboration.
• Learn who else is working on protocols, what are they working on
• Gain a more in-depth understanding of key AgenticAI use-cases for protocols
• Consider how we can protect humanity, human integrity, judgment and creativity with these protocol stacks

The agenda will be set in the opening circle by the people who are gathered at the event using a process called Open Space Technology. Anyone in attendance can put a topic on the agenda.

Our 2nd Agentic Internet Workshop continues to build on the legacy of the Internet Identity Workshop, a forum that has been meeting twice a year since 2005. In the first 10 years of the community’s life, we defined protocols such as OpenID Connect and OAuth, which are used a billion times a day on the internet today. In the second 10 years, we worked on decentralized identity protocols, like Decentralized IDentifiers, Verifiable Credentials, Trust Spanning Protocol, DIDComm, OpenID4VC and many others. This event focuses agentic web and how personal and corporate agents can best engage with each other.

Notes will be collected in all sessions and made publicly available. You can see the book of Proceedings from AIW #1 Here.

There is a lot of activity in the AI and AI Agent Protocol space. Our event is a nutral field where all the creators can come together for mutual learning and collaboration.
