A three-day developer conference in Berlin focused on AI-assisted software engineering, edge AI, and intelligent application development. Part of the next.app devcon platform run by Mobile Seasons GmbH, co-located with droidCon Berlin, flutterCon, reactCon, swiftCon, and other mobile developer tracks at CityCube Berlin on October 7–9, 2026.
ai devCon is a developer conference dedicated to AI-assisted software engineering, the integration of AI into mobile and cross-platform applications, and strategic AI adoption for engineering leaders. It operates as one of six concurrent single-track conferences hosted on the next.app devcon platform, all sharing the same dates and venue. As of June 2026, the organiser's website had renamed the event to "agentic codeCon" (Agentic Coding Con), reflecting a thematic shift toward agentic AI workflows.
The original "ai devCon" brand remains in use in the Events Index database entry (EI-06906), though readers should be aware of the rebrand when searching the organiser's site. The event at https://www.nextappcon.com/ai-devcon redirected to https://www.nextappcon.com/agentic-coding-con as of the verification date.
The 2026 edition takes place at CityCube Berlin, a large convention facility on the Messedamm in the Charlottenburg district of Berlin. It runs concurrently with droidCon Berlin, flutterCon, reactCon, swiftCon, a mobile application security track (masCon), and an XR and mobile games developer track: forming a combined event described by the organiser as "the world's largest conference for mobile app developers," with 6,000 attendees self-reported across all co-located events.
The ai devCon / agentic codeCon track is structured around three thematic pillars, according to the organiser's site:
The programme includes keynotes, sessions, hands-on instructor-led workshops, an unconference roundtable format, and a leadership summit strand. According to figures self-reported by the organiser on the event website, the combined next.app devcon event hosts 400+ speakers and panelists and 300+ sessions and workshops.
The event takes place in early October, placing it in the dense European autumn conference season alongside events such as DjangoCon Europe, All Things Open, and KubeCon NA. Its differentiation from general AI conferences lies in its focus on mobile and cross-platform development contexts: the AI content is framed specifically around the constraints and opportunities of mobile application engineering.
Within the next.app devcon multi-event platform, the AI track occupies a newer position: Mobile Seasons GmbH added AI-specific programming to its established Android/mobile event cluster, reflecting demand from its core mobile developer audience. The co-location with droidCon Berlin (Android) means that droidCon attendees can cross-attend sessions, creating a shared pool.
The event targets: mobile software engineers (Android, iOS, cross-platform) integrating AI into application development; engineering leads, staff engineers, and engineering managers evaluating AI tooling and agentic development patterns; developer advocates and platform engineers working on AI-adjacent infrastructure; and independent consultants and freelance engineers in the mobile-AI intersection.
Confirmed speakers visible on the organiser's site as of the verification date include Sebastian Aigner (JetBrains), Don Turner (Google Android Developer Relations), Pierre-Yves Ricau (Square), and Marcin Moskała (Kt. Academy). The full programme was listed as "coming soon" on the agenda page.
The three-day programme includes:
The event shares the CityCube Berlin venue and infrastructure with the other co-located conferences, providing 21 stages for workshops, talks, panels, and roundtables across all tracks, according to the organiser.
Core thematic areas as described by the organiser:
The 2026 rebrand to "agentic codeCon" signals an increased focus on agentic engineering patterns specifically, rather than AI tooling in general.
The conference approaches AI specifically from a mobile and cross-platform development perspective. Sessions are framed around shipping AI-powered features within the constraints of mobile hardware and the mobile development lifecycle, rather than AI research, enterprise AI strategy, or cloud AI services in isolation.
The event is not designed for:
No. ai devCon (or agentic codeCon) is a distinct thematic track co-located with droidCon Berlin at the same venue on the same dates. Tickets are sold per event or as combined passes; the organiser's ticket shop at nextappcon.com/ticket-shop provides options. Attendees may be able to cross-attend sessions depending on ticket type; check with the organiser.
CityCube Berlin is a convention and congress centre located at Messedamm 26, in Berlin's Charlottenburg district, adjacent to the Berlin Messe exhibition grounds and the ICC congress centre. It has hosted the combined droidCon and next.app devcon events since 2017, according to the organiser. The building is designed for large-scale multi-track events; the organiser notes 21 stages across all co-located conferences.
Address: Messedamm 26, 14055 Berlin, Germany. Accessible by U-Bahn (U2, Kaiserdamm station) and by S-Bahn (S-Bahn Messe/ICC station).
Mobile Seasons GmbH is a Berlin-based events company that operates the next.app devcon platform and the droidcon brand globally. Its registered address is Messedamm 22, 14055 Berlin, Germany. The droidcon brand is a global franchise of developer conferences focused on Android, which Mobile Seasons GmbH has operated since the early 2010s. In 2026, the company rebranded its multi-event Berlin gathering under the next.app devcon umbrella, hosting six concurrent conferences (droidCon, flutterCon, reactCon, swiftCon, agentic codeCon, masCon) and one XR track at CityCube Berlin.
Originally branded as 'ai devCon', the event was rebranded to 'agentic codeCon' on the organiser's website by June 2026, reflecting a pivot toward agentic AI workflows and production-grade engineering rather than AI tooling in general. The original URL (nextappcon.com/ai-devcon) redirects to the new page; both names refer to the same event in the next.app devcon 2026 programme.
Tickets are sold through the organiser's ticket shop at https://www.nextappcon.com/ticket-shop. Pricing had not been fully disclosed on the public-facing pages at the time of verification. The organiser offers individual-event tickets and, likely, combined passes covering multiple co-located conferences.
