TransformConf is organized by KotlinConf founder JetBrains, the company behind IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, Kotlin, and numerous other solutions used by millions of developers worldwide.
We aim to create a space where developers can explore how AI integrates into their everyday work – whether
they’re using it or building it – and to shift the conversation from abstract hype to grounded, real-world
applications.
Our goal is to support ongoing learning and shared understanding as AI continues to reshape software development. We want to help engineers stay equipped with the knowledge, tools, and access to the community they need to thrive.
Anyone who is building AI, using AI tools, integrating AI into their products, platforms, and workflows, or preparing to do so: developers, ML researchers and engineers, DevOps specialists, technical leaders, architects, DX and productivity engineers, and anyone on product teams working with AI in production.
Building, deploying, and maintaining AI systems end-to-end
Aligning AI development across disciplines
Advanced modeling and training techniques
Developer education and skills in the so-called “AI era”
Long-term changes to programming, teams, and the software industry
Separating myths from reality: addressing ethics, compliance, and long-term impact
AI agents and the developer experience: Rethinking productivity, roles, and human–AI collaboration in software development
Practical by Design
Engineering-first sessions, real workflows, and frameworks you can apply immediately.
Built for the Whole Team
AI involves disciplines across ML, backend, frontend, product, DevOps, and leadership, so we're creating a space where everyone can learn together.
Clarity Over Hype
Honest conversations about what AI can currently do, where it falls short, and how to make sound technical and product decisions around it.
An Annual Meeting Point
A trusted place for the AI-dev community to compare experiences, share what's working, and stay aligned in a fast-moving field.
Shaped by the JetBrains Ethos
Guided by the same values as our tools: productivity, quality, and a community that learns together.
