WeAreDevelopers launches first India conference in Bengaluru for November 2026

WeAreDevelopers will hold its first India conference in Bengaluru on November 25‑26, 2026, co‑hosted by the startup Entire.

More than 100 speakers are slated to present across two days, covering AI development, agentic systems in production, platform engineering, security and engineering leadership through keynotes, technical talks and hands‑on workshops. Google, IBM and GitHub are listed as supporting partners, reflecting the global developer ecosystem’s presence in the program. Sead Ahmetović, CEO and co‑founder of WeAreDevelopers, said, "Technology is changing faster than ever, and our job is to make sure the people building it stay ahead. Developers from India have been part of our network for years…" Ticket sales open in mid‑October and can be booked at the conference website.
