SUMMARY:The Agentic Quality Tour - Boston
DESCRIPTION:### Overview\nThe Agentic Quality Tour in Boston is a full day AI quality conference organized for engineering leaders who are actively transforming their quality practices with AI. The event gathers practitioners from ContextQA\, Innovate QA\, and partner organizations to share real AI quality transformation stories\, practical approaches\, and actionable frameworks. The program is designed for leaders who want to understand how agentic AI systems can be developed\, tested\, and deployed reliably\, with a focus on cases\, lessons learned\, and concrete steps that teams can apply in their own initiatives.\n\n### Details\nThe Boston edition takes place on Friday\, August 7\, 2026\, at CIC Cambridge (1 Broadway\, Cambridge\, MA 02142\, United States). The day runs from morning breakfast and registration through sessions\, a mastermind workshop\, keynote addresses\, and an awards ceremony. The event is offered as an in-person experience with a structured schedule that blends talks\, tracks\, networking\, and hands-on discussions. An early bird ticket price is listed at $25\, with a standard ticket at $35\, and breakfast and lunch are included in the day’s agenda. The event is organized in collaboration with Innovate QA\, ContextQA\, and Entelligence.AI\, and is framed as a practical\, practitioner-focused forum rather than a theoretical conference.\n\n### Agenda and Sessions\nThe day features a sequence of sessions designed to explore the Quality Loop for AI agents\, masterclass-style discussions\, and track-based conversations. A keynote lineup includes notable speakers such as Deep Barot\, CEO of ContextQA\, and Kranthi Manchikanti\, Agentic AI Architect at Microsoft\, who discuss how AI-driven QA is transforming release cycles and quality governance. A mastermind workshop is scheduled to foster hands-on problem solving\, while break sessions and lunch provide opportunities for networking with peers from the field. In addition\, the agenda outlines parallel tracks focusing on practical AI testing strategies\, platform demonstrations\, and live platform insights.\n\n### Speakers and Program\nThe event will host practitioners in AI quality leadership and engineering\, including Deep Barot (CEO\, ContextQA) delivering a keynote on practical AI adoption in testing and quality\, and Kranthi Manchikanti (Agentic AI Architect\, Microsoft) presenting on the Quality Loop for AI Agents. The program is designed to offer candid\, real-world adoption stories\, and to provide attendees with frameworks they can implement in their own organizations. A broad set of topics is anticipated\, including test management for AI systems\, platform demonstrations\, and executive networking opportunities.\n\n### Format\, Tracks\, and FAQs\nExpect a traditional in-person conference format with a mixture of keynote talks\, track sessions\, a mastermind workshop\, and an awards ceremony. The event is targeted at engineering leaders responsible for quality outcomes and AI adoption. Attendees should plan for a full-day schedule with meals included and should anticipate opportunities to connect with peers and the founding teams behind ContextQA and related platforms. If you are leading a QA transformation or exploring AI-driven testing\, this event aims to provide practical advice\, concrete case studies\, and a space to discuss challenges and outcomes with industry peers.\n\n### Who should attend\nThe tour is designed for VP and director-level quality leaders\, engineering executives\, and practitioners who are actively pursuing AI-enabled quality improvements. It also invites teams seeking executive networking and real-world demonstrations of AI testing and quality use cases. Overall\, the event seeks to equip attendees with actionable insights to accelerate AI quality transformation within their organizations.\nhttps://contextqa.com/events/the-agentic-quality-tour-2026-boston?ref=ainave
