World's largest Android developer conference, now part of the next.app devcon cluster at CityCube Berlin, 7-9 October. Three days covering Android, Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, mobile AI and cross-platform development. 6,000+ developers, 400+ speakers across four co-located tracks (droidcon Berlin, ai devCon, xr&gamesCon, swiftCon). Organised by Mobile Seasons GmbH.
droidcon Berlin is the flagship Android developer conference, part of the global droidcon series operated by Mobile Seasons GmbH. The 2026 edition runs 7-9 October at CityCube Berlin as the anchor event within the next.app devcon multi-track cluster. A single next.app devcon ticket provides access to all four co-located conferences (droidcon Berlin, ai devCon, xr&gamesCon, swiftCon). The Berlin edition is the original and flagship droidcon; the global series has expanded to cover droidcon events in multiple countries. The 2026 edition reflects the current moment in Android development: the integration of AI models, on-device inference and Kotlin Multiplatform alongside Jetpack Compose and the evolving Android platform.
Core programme tracks:
The audience is predominantly Android developers, Kotlin engineers and mobile engineers working on Android and cross-platform applications. Engineering leads, platform architects and technical managers with Android teams also attend. The co-located next.app devcon cluster broadens the networking context to include iOS, XR, game and AI developers.
droidcon started in Berlin in 2009 and was among the first community-driven Android conferences globally. The global series now operates events across Europe, North America, Latin America and Africa. The Berlin edition remains the flagship. The transition to the next.app devcon cluster format in 2026 reflects the convergence of Android development with AI, XR and multi-platform engineering.
The droidcon track focuses on Android and Kotlin development. However, the next.app devcon cluster format provides cross-track access to iOS (swiftCon), AI (ai devCon) and XR/games (xr&gamesCon) sessions. Attendees with pure Android focus can stay within the droidcon track; those interested in cross-platform or AI will find adjacent content at no extra cost.
Yes. KMP and Compose Multiplatform have become significant topics at droidcon events, reflecting their growing adoption in Android codebases that target iOS and other platforms.
