What 2026 attendees said
“One of the best rooms in engineering productivity.”
“This event was major league with GitHub Universe and the like.”
“The fact that I was able to actually shake hands with the speakers and have a short conversation with them made the whole experience better than any other conference I've been to.”
“Love the principled approach to studying and understanding the impact of AI, and really good, specific insights.”
“The conference was one of the more energizing events I've been to in a long time. It wasn't any single session - it was the room itself. The caliber of people DX brought together, and the fact that everyone actually wanted to be in the conversation rather than just attend it, is rare.”
“I have it pencilled in for next year already.”
“100% relevant for my role as head of DX.”
“The sessions were crisp and to the point, and the perspectives across companies were genuinely valuable.”
“Super relevant questions and answers, the speakers were all very impressive and had very well formed, specific thoughts for each question.”
“Almost every sentence was a critical bullet point that needs to be tattooed on my arm.”
“Genuinely better than most of the conferences I go to.”
“DX Annual was the best conference I've been to.”
About
DX Annual brings together senior leaders responsible for developer productivity and AI enablement to connect and learn from each other.
The 2026 program examined how engineering organizations adapted to AI—how they chose tools, managed costs, supported adoption, and whether Developer Productivity teams changed the way they worked. This single-day event included keynotes, fireside chats, and peer roundtables where attendees were matched based on similar role, company size, and interests. All sessions were vendor-neutral and focused on real experiences from engineering teams.
Key themes

See what's working as organizations help tens, hundreds, or thousands of developers adopt AI effectively while maintaining reliability and security.
Measuring AI's impact
Learn how teams are tracking AI's effect on developer productivity, which metrics they use, and how they communicate results to leadership.
Evaluating and managing tools
Hear how leaders are identifying high-value use cases for AI, choosing AI tools, and managing costs and licenses.
Evolving DevProd and Platform teams
Understand how AI is reshaping the work of Developer Productivity and Platform teams, from strategy to team structure.
Frequently Asked Questions
DX Annual is our single-day, flagship conference for developer productivity leaders navigating the AI era. The inaugural DX Annual was held on April 16th in San Francisco, bringing together a curated group of ~500 senior engineering leaders from companies like Pinterest, Nationwide, Dropbox, Netflix, and Dell. The program featured keynotes, fireside chats, and panels focused on the top questions leaders are facing: how to apply AI across the SDLC, scale best practices, and rethink the role of DevProd teams.
DX Annual is intentionally curated to ensure the conversations are relevant, practical, and valuable for everyone in the room. By asking attendees to apply, we're able to bring together leaders facing similar challenges so discussions go deeper and peer connections are genuinely useful.
