TL;DR -DevRelCon NYC returns to Industry City in Brooklyn on July 22–23, 2026. It's the flagship conference for developer relations, DevX, and developer marketing professionals — about 300 people, intentionally tight-knit, with a DIY indie feel that sets it apart from larger corporate events. This year's programming focuses heavily on what AI is changing about DevRel: how to write docs for human and agent users alike, what developer experience means when AI handles the boilerplate, and how to measure and scale adoption in a shifting landscape. The week starts Tuesday night with a mini hackathon. Tickets are at nyc.devrelcon.dev, scholarships are available, and there's a "Convince Your Boss" script if you need it.
There's a conference that's been running for more than a decade, quietly becoming the place where the people who build for developers go to figure things out together. No keynote theater (but plenty of excellent speakers). No lanyard maze (but good happy hours and the occasional magic show). Just a few hundred practitioners in a converted Brooklyn warehouse, having the conversations that actually move the work of developer relations forward.
That's DevRelCon. And this year, it's coming home to Industry City on July 22 & 23, 2026. We’ve been active partners in the DevRelCon space since the beginning and now head up the flagship conference here in New York. Here’s a look at what we have planned this year.
