The stage is set, let’s meet the visionaries shaping DeveloperWeek 2026!
We are proud to welcome the global developer community back to the San Jose Convention Center for a week dedicated to the technologies that are truly moving the needle.
We’ve moved beyond the traditional conference model to host eight specialized Worlds under one roof:
- AI DevWorld & ProductWorld
- CloudNative World & Frontend World
- DevExec World & OpsWorld
- Dev Security World & Dev Innovation World
Architecting Impact, Not Just Pilots
The industry is moving past “AI for the sake of AI.” Nazrul Islam (IBM) joins us to share the roadmap for an Enterprise AI Fabric, shifting the focus from isolated pilots to governed, high-value business outcomes. At the same time, Katie Steigman (Yahoo Mail) will dive into the product strategy required to transform a personal inbox into an intelligent hub for hundreds of millions of users.
The Rise of Memory and Composable Systems
One of the most interesting shifts we’re tracking this year is the emergence of Memory Engineering. Richmond Alake (Oracle) will introduce this new discipline, exploring how to build the memory layer of the agent stack to help AI adapt across sessions.
But innovation isn’t just about adding more, sometimes it’s about choosing better. Shawn Ahmed (CloudBees) will challenge the “consolidation at all costs” myth, making a compelling case for composability and developer freedom. The focus on efficiency continues with Bryan Clark (Databricks), who will introduce Lakebase to eliminate complex ETL and simplify operational data..
A Foundation Built on Trust
As we push the boundaries of what’s possible, security remains the bedrock. Blake Brannon (OneTrust) is bringing a fresh perspective on how AI agents can help organizations manage privacy at scale. For those looking for efficiency in their models, Legare Kerrison (Red Hat) will demonstrate why smaller, purpose-built LLMs are often the key to unlocking smarter, more scalable solutions.
With over 250+ industry speakers and a community of thousands, we are excited to see what happens when the brightest minds in development come together.
The future doesn’t build itself. See you in San Jose from February 18-20.
