Each year, 5,000+ developers, engineers, software architects, dev teams, managers, and executives from 70+ countries gather for DeveloperWeek (Feb 18-20, 2026 | San Jose, CA) to discover the latest in developer technologies, languages, platforms, and tools.
DeveloperWeek 2026 is the largest developer conference & event series including the DeveloperWeek 2026 Conference & Expo, 1,000+ attendee hackathon, 1000+ attendee tech hiring expo, and a series of workshops, technical talks, and keynotes.
Because DeveloperWeek covers all new technologies, our conference and workshops invite you to get intro lessons (or advanced tips and tricks) on technologies like VR Dev, Artificial Intelligence Dev, Blockchain Dev, IoT Dev, Serverless technology, Microservices technology, new JavaScript frameworks, and more.
This year, DeveloperWeek will have an expanded DevExec World, which is 2 days of roundtable talks, educational talks, and networking events for engineering managers, tech executives, and lead developers. Additionally, DeveloperWeek will be co-located with ProductWorld and AI DevWorld.
