For Developers Affected by Layoffs
We're offering a complimentary conference ticket to engineers who've been hit by a tech layoff. Connect with hiring teams, attend hands-on workshops, and keep your skills and network moving — on us.
A developer conference is more than sessions — it's where careers move forward.
The expo floor brings together engineering teams that are actively building and hiring. Skip the job board and talk directly to the people making decisions — face to face, at one of the largest developer conferences in North America.
Hands-on workshops, masterclasses, and hundreds of technical sessions cover AI engineering, cloud, security, and the skills that move careers forward. A layoff is a window — use it to level up.
A tech layoff can feel isolating. Thousands of developers, engineers, and tech leaders under one roof is the antidote. The conversations you have in hallways and on the expo floor are often worth more than the sessions.
WeAreDevelopers World Congress North America takes place September 23–25, 2026 at the McEnery Convention Center in San José, CA. It is one of the largest developer conferences in North America, bringing together engineers, AI practitioners, tech leaders, and the companies building the next generation of software products.
The event covers the full stack of modern software engineering — from AI and machine learning to cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, security, and developer experience. Whether you are looking for your next role, exploring a career pivot into AI, or simply want to reconnect with the developer community after a layoff, this is the room to be in.
