AI DevCon is heading back to NYC! The best place to master agentic coding. For the developers and teams building with agents. Two days in Brooklyn for the people putting agents to work in real codebases. AI DevCon brings together developers, engineering leaders, and teams using agentic coding in practice. For 2026, the focus is scaling AI-native development beyond the individual: across teams, codebases, and platforms. Expect real-world AI engineering, practical dev tooling, and hands-on sessions from the people shipping with agents. Real-world AI engineering. Straight from people shipping it. Practical dev tooling. Things you can use on Monday. Hands-on sessions. Not slideware. Help shape AI DevCon. CALL FOR PAPERS Agentic coding is the norm. We want deep, technical talks on harness engineering, agent enablement, software factories, and scaling AI-native development.
