Owned land, not rented.
Oxford Agentic runs in-person, hands-on agentic AI training in Oxford for business leaders. Over a single day in a small cohort, every attendee builds and runs a working agentic AI workflow on a real task from their own work. No coding required.
Why this exists
Oxford has no shortage of people who understand AI. Executive courses, diplomas, reading groups, conference panels — the city is thick with them, and they are good. What was missing was the next step: a day where you actually build the thing.
That gap is oddly consistent. Senior people arrive having read widely, having sat through the strategy modules, having formed genuine views about where this goes. And they have still never chained three AI steps together on a task they actually own. Not because it is hard. Because nobody ever sat them down for a day and got them through the first one.
So the format is deliberately narrow. One day. One real task each. A room of about twenty-five people, capped so that it stays facilitated rather than lectured. Everyone leaves with something running, and with the pattern underneath it — which is the part that transfers to the next task, and the one after that.
Oxford Agentic is the home for that family of events in Oxford. The bootcamps are where it happens; the events page lists every cohort, past and upcoming.
Who runs it
Drummond Gilbert
Founder and host, Oxford Agentic
Drummond has spent the last decade running marketing and growth for technology companies, latterly as a fractional CMO. He is a graduate of the University of Oxford’s AI programme, teaches on AI at Saïd Business School, and organises Oxford’s Practical AI meetup.
He started the bootcamp for a straightforward reason: plenty of senior people in Oxford had done the reading, taken the executive course, and still had not built anything. The gap was never understanding. It was a day, a room, and someone to unstick you when the tool misbehaves.
The setting
The events run in Oxford colleges. The setting is part of the point — it is a working day, but a working day somewhere worth travelling to.
