The shift from AI as an assistant to AI as a colleague — and it is changing how every industry operates.
Agentic AI refers to autonomous software systems that can perceive their environment, make decisions, and take action to achieve defined goals with minimal human oversight. Unlike traditional AI tools that respond to prompts and wait for instructions, agents operate independently. They plan, execute, learn, and adapt.
Think of the difference this way: a traditional AI tool answers your question. An AI agent does the job.
A customer experience agent does not just suggest a response to a support ticket. It reads the ticket, checks the customer's history, resolves the issue, updates the CRM, and follows up 48 hours later to confirm satisfaction. A finance agent does not just flag an anomaly in your accounts. It investigates the cause, cross-references transactions, prepares a report, and routes it to the right person for sign-off.
The global agentic AI market stands at $7.29 billion in 2025. By 2034, it will reach $139.19 billion, growing at a compound annual rate of 40.5%. The UK market alone is valued at $0.66 billion in 2026, making it the largest in Europe and one of the fastest-growing in the world.
Every major technology company is investing heavily in agent capabilities. Enterprises across financial services, healthcare, legal, retail, manufacturing, and government are moving from pilot projects to full-scale deployment. The question is no longer whether businesses will adopt AI agents. It is how quickly they can find the right ones.
Until now, agentic AI has been a subsection of broader AI conferences and technology events. A few stands scattered among cloud platforms, cybersecurity vendors, and SaaS tools. That is not enough anymore.
The market has matured to the point where buyers need a dedicated space to evaluate, compare, and procure agent solutions. Business leaders need to see agents working in context, not in a slide deck. They need to compare platforms side by side and speak directly to the engineers and founders building them.
Agentic Expo is the world's first trade exhibition built entirely around this need. Every exhibitor, every demonstration, every conversation on the floor is focused on one thing: market-ready AI agents that solve real business problems.
Olympia, London is one of the world's most iconic exhibition venues, with over 135 years of history hosting landmark trade events. Its central London location offers excellent transport links, with direct access via the District and Piccadilly lines, and proximity to major rail stations including Paddington.
London is the commercial and technology capital of Europe, home to the continent's largest concentration of AI companies, venture capital, and enterprise buyers. For the world's first dedicated agentic AI trade show, there is no better city and no better venue.
