About

TransformConf is organized by KotlinConf founder JetBrains, the company behind IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, Kotlin, and numerous other solutions used by millions of developers worldwide.

Our Mission

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.

Who is TransformConf for?

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.
