The World’s Leading Event for Developers, AI Innovators, and Tech Leaders

The global developer community gathers at WeAreDevelopers Conference India in Bengaluru to connect with more than 2,000 peers and gain actionable insights into software development, AI innovation, engineering best practices, and the future of technology.

As part of the global WeAreDevelopers event series—recognized by industry leaders as the flagship platform for developers and technology decision-makers—our mission is to deliver far more than a traditional tech conference. The program spans the entire software development lifecycle and focuses on building, shipping, maintaining, securing, and scaling outstanding software and products.

We invite you to contribute your expertise and share your experience with a highly engaged audience across 6+ stages. Topics range from deep technical content and AI systems to product strategy, architecture, leadership, and emerging technologies.

Our Speakers Hall of Fame has included renowned figures such as Steve Wozniak, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Brenda and John Romero, Bjarne Stroustrup, Joel Spolsky, Angie Jones, Håkon Wium Lie, Rasmus Lerdorf, Cassie Kozyrkov, and Scott Hanselman, among many others.

We also encourage first-time speakers to apply. New voices are essential to shaping a stronger, more inclusive, and forward-looking tech community.
