Why Attend.

AI is already inside the development workflow. The hard questions are still open: how to build, what to automate, what to trust, what to secure, what to buy, how to operate it in production. WeAreDevelopers Conference India is where developers, platform teams, security teams, and engineering leaders discuss what actually works.

Developers at the WeAreDevelopers World Congress main stage.
  • 01

    Learn what's actually working in production

    Talks from people building and operating real systems: AI-assisted development, agents, cloud platforms, observability, data pipelines, security, developer tools, and delivery workflows. What broke, what scaled, and what teams would not do again.

    You leave withpatterns to copy, mistakes to avoid, and a sharper view of what is production-ready.
  • 02

    Get hands-on with tools and patterns

    Workshops, masterclasses, and live coding sessions where you actually try the tools, break things, and understand the details. Not just slides. Not just inspiration. Practical sessions you can bring back to your own codebase and workflows.

    You leave withmuscle memory, working examples, and techniques your team can adapt immediately.
  • 03

    Get AI-ready as an engineer

    Traditional engineering practices are changing fast: coding assistants, agents, evals, context engineering, AI-assisted testing, security reviews, and new delivery patterns are becoming part of how modern teams build software. The question is no longer whether AI belongs in the workflow. The question is how to use it well without lowering quality, security, or engineering judgment.

    You leave witha practical AI workflow, a clearer sense of where AI helps or hurts, and more confidence using it in real engineering work.
  • 04

    Build the skills that keep you relevant

    The strongest developers are not just learning another framework. They understand systems, trade-offs, security, reliability, AI-assisted delivery, developer experience, and how to make better technical decisions. Use the event to learn which skills are becoming more valuable, which habits are becoming outdated, and where to invest your learning time next.

    You leave withclearer skill priorities, stronger technical judgment, and a better view of where your career should move next.
  • 05

    Compare architectures, tools, and trade-offs

    Use the event to test your assumptions before the next platform or tooling decision. Open source vs managed service. Build vs buy. Central platform vs team-level tooling. Agent workflows vs classic automation. Vendor claims vs practitioner reality.

    You leave witha shortlist, real trade-offs, and fewer decisions made from hype or incomplete information.
  • 06

    Benchmark your AI, engineering, and security practices

    Find out how other teams are handling the decisions you are making now: AI coding policies, agent governance, security reviews, platform ownership, observability, cloud cost, compliance, and developer productivity. Not best-practice theory, but what teams are actually shipping.

    You leave witha reality check on where you are ahead, behind, or solving the wrong problem.
  • 07

    Bring your team and align faster

    Use the event as a two-day engineering offsite. Split across tracks, compare notes over coffee, challenge assumptions, and turn scattered opinions into a shared direction. This is especially useful when your team is making decisions around AI adoption, platform architecture, security rules, developer productivity, or tooling.

    You leave witha shared mental model, clearer priorities, and fewer decisions re-litigated in the next sprint.
  • 08

    Meet the builders behind the tools you use

    Maintainers, founders, CTOs, SREs, security leaders, and product teams from the tools your company already uses are in the same place. Ask the questions that do not fit into documentation, GitHub issues, sales calls, or webinar Q&A.

    You leave withdirect answers, better context, and contacts you can still reach after the event.
  • 09

    Understand where the stack is going

    Agents, evals, MCP, AI-assisted coding, platform engineering, cloud-native infrastructure, observability, and security are moving fast. The point is not to chase every trend. The point is to know what is real, what is early, and what is not worth your time yet.

    You leave witha clearer view of what to adopt, what to watch, and what to ignore.
  • 10

    Get unstuck on problems you are solving now

    Every developer has questions that are hard to answer from documentation, blog posts, vendor pages, or internal Slack threads. At the event, you can bring those questions into talks, workshops, hallway conversations, and Q&A sessions with people who have solved similar problems before.

    You leave withbetter answers, better questions, and practical next steps for the work waiting back at your desk.

Topics in focus

What You Will Learn.

AI is no longer a side topic. It is changing how teams design, code, test, ship, secure, operate, and lead software. The conference program covers the full modern software lifecycle - from everyday engineering craft to agentic systems, platforms, security, quality, and engineering leadership.

  1. Build
  2. Ship
  3. Run
  4. Secure
  5. Test
  6. Lead
  1. 01

    Building with AI as a craft

    • Backend engineers
    • Frontend engineers
    • Full-stack engineers

    How AI-assisted coding changes everyday engineering work: what to delegate, what to keep, and how to stay accountable for code quality when agents write alongside you.

  2. 02

    Agentic systems in production

    • AI engineers
    • Backend engineers
    • Architects

    Taking agents beyond the demo: architecture, guardrails, cost and latency, and the operational lessons from teams running them in front of real users.

  3. 03

    Languages, runtimes and architecture

    • Software engineers
    • Architects
    • Tech leads

    The languages, runtimes and architectural choices that hold up as systems and teams grow, and how those decisions shift when AI becomes part of the stack.

  4. 04

    Platforms, cloud and reliability

    • Platform engineers
    • DevOps & SRE
    • Data engineers
    • QA & test engineers

    Developer platforms, delivery pipelines and cloud infrastructure that let teams ship quickly and run reliably, plus the data foundations AI features depend on and the testing and evaluation practices that keep confidence high when software is no longer deterministic.

  5. 05

    Security and trust

    • Security engineers
    • Platform engineers
    • Tech leads

    Securing code, dependencies and AI features end to end, from everyday supply-chain hygiene to the new risks that appear when agents act on behalf of users.

  6. 06

    Engineering leadership

    • CTOs & VPs
    • Engineering managers
    • Tech leads

    Leading teams through a shifting stack: build versus buy, developer productivity, hiring and skills, and technology decisions that still make sense two years from now.
