DeepLearning.AI Dev 26 is a two-day technical conference hosted by Andrew Ng, founder of DeepLearning.AI and pioneer in machine learning education. Designed specifically for AI developers, the event brings together 3,000+ practitioners for deep technical sessions, hands-on workshops, live coding demos, and an AI startup track. Unlike executive-focused AI conferences, Dev 26 targets engineers building production AI systems with emphasis on practical implementation, code-level techniques, and real-world deployment challenges. The event features workshops on LLM fine-tuning, RAG architectures, agentic systems, and MLOps best practices.
