The event covers AI engineering, ML infrastructure, natural language processing, and the practical future of software development. Three parallel tracks run across both days, with sessions in 45-minute and 15-minute formats, attracting developers, ML engineers, and software architects from across Europe. ## What shapes the TransformConf programme The conference draws on JetBrains' position as a developer tools company with direct insight into how engineers actually use AI-assisted workflows. Sessions tend to be practitioner-facing rather than executive-level. The three-track structure allows attendees to choose between depth on ML infrastructure, applied AI engineering, and broader software practice themes. Ticket pricing is not publicly listed on the conference website. ## Who attends TransformConf26 - Software engineers adopting AI-assisted development tools - ML engineers building or integrating inference pipelines - NLP researchers and practitioners - Engineering managers evaluating AI tooling strategy - Developers working at the intersection of software and AI systems ## What the TransformConf26 format includes - Three parallel conference tracks across two days - 45-minute in-depth sessions and 15-minute focused talks - Networking spaces between and around sessions - JetBrains product presence and tooling demonstrations ## What the TransformConf26 programme covers - AI engineering patterns in software development - ML infrastructure: training, inference, and deployment - Natural language processing applied to development workflows - The future of coding with AI assistance and agent-driven tools - Software architecture in AI-integrated systems ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### What is TransformConf? It is JetBrains' annual conference dedicated to AI's role in software development. It focuses on engineering practice rather than business strategy, aiming to give practitioners concrete knowledge they can apply to their workflows. ### Is TransformConf vendor-neutral? It is organised by JetBrains, so JetBrains products feature in the programme. However, the session content includes external speakers and community contributors, and the focus on AI engineering practice means the content extends beyond JetBrains' own tooling. ### How is the three-track structure organised? Track organisation details are not publicly disclosed as of verification. The split broadly covers AI engineering, ML infrastructure, and software development futures. ### Who is TransformConf26 NOT designed for? Non-technical executives seeking strategic AI overviews without engineering depth. Developers uninterested in AI-assisted workflows. Researchers focused on pure academic AI without applied software development context. Attendees looking for a vendor-neutral community conference without organiser product involvement. ## The venue: Tobacco Dock Tobacco Dock is a listed warehouse building in Wapping, East London, converted into a flexible event venue. It is commonly used for mid-to-large technology conferences due to its distinctive industrial architecture and multiple breakout spaces. The venue is accessible via Shadwell station (Overground) and Wapping station (Overground), approximately 20 minutes from central London. ## The organiser: JetBrains JetBrains is a software development tools company based in Prague, with products including IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, and the Kotlin programming language. The company serves a global developer community and has organised TransformConf as a forum for exploring AI's impact on the software development tools and practices it supports. --- ## Editorial take *JetBrains occupies a rare position as both tooling vendor and credible technical voice for developers; TransformConf reflects that duality, making it more practitioner-oriented than a typical vendor conference.* ## How to register and what it costs Registration is open at transformconf.ai.
