Attending WeAreDevelopers World Congress Europe (July 8–10, 2026 in Berlin) is more than a conference visit — it’s a high-impact investment in engineering excellence, innovation, and long-term team performance.

Below is a concrete breakdown you can share with your manager to justify attending.

Dear [Manager],

I’d like to attend WeAreDevelopers World Congress Europe, taking place July 8–10, 2026 in Berlin, Germany. This is the world’s leading event for developers and tech leaders, bringing together 15,000+ developers, 8,000+ companies, and 500+ speakers from top technology organizations and open-source communities.

The conference offers a unique opportunity for me to deepen my technical expertise, learn proven best practices from industry leaders, and bring back actionable insights that can directly benefit our team and projects.

Here are some specific reasons why attending would be valuable:

  • I can attend a wide range of high-quality talks, workshops, and sessions across AI, software architecture, cloud & infrastructure, DevOps, security, frontend, data, and engineering productivity, covering both practical and forward-looking topics relevant to our work.
  • I’ll learn directly from senior engineering leaders and experts from companies such as GitHub, Atlassian, Adobe, Netflix, Booking.com, Salesforce, Webflow, and adidas, through real-world case studies and deep technical sessions.
  • I can bring back practical tools, patterns, and workflows that help reduce technical debt, improve developer experience, and accelerate delivery.
  • The event provides valuable opportunities to exchange ideas with experienced engineers, tech leads, architects, and decision-makers, often leading to new perspectives and solutions we wouldn’t encounter in day-to-day work.
  • I’ll stay up to date on emerging trends in AI-powered development, cloud-native systems, automation, and modern engineering practices, helping us make better long-term technical decisions.

WeAreDevelopers World Congress Europe is a highly cost-effective way to accelerate learning and bring back knowledge that benefits the entire team. The event also offers early pricing options, which help keep costs low.

Estimated costs:

  • Conference pass: €439 (early price, regular price €799)
  • Hotel (3 nights in Berlin): ~€180–220 per night / €540–660
  • Travel (flight/train within Europe): ~€150–300
  • Estimated total: ~€1,130–1,400

After the event, I will prepare a structured summary of key takeaways, share relevant insights with the team, and propose concrete ways we can apply what I’ve learned to our current and future projects.

Thank you for considering my request to attend WeAreDevelopers World Congress Europe 2026. I’m confident this will be a valuable investment for both my professional growth and our team’s success.
