DevTalks Cluj 2026, focused on AI impact over tech future
Scheduled to hold its 9th edition on September 24th, DevTalks Cluj will bring together over 2,500 programmers, IT professionals and tech leaders, cca 40 local and international speakers that will go up on one of event’s 3 stages.
Since 2014, DevTalks Romania builds one of the strongest tech communities in the region.
AI isnt just a separate subject in tech industry, but one that starts to change the way products, infrastructures and software systems are developed. The change is also reflected in DevTalks Cluj-Napoca 2026¨s agenda.
Silvia Alupului, Project Manager DdevTalks Cluj:
In 2026, we already see how AI goes from experiment to implementation and becomes part of the way we build products, manage infrastructures and make tech decisions. That is why this year we rethought the directions of the 3 stages in order to bring more tech edge and more conversations about what happens now in the industry. DevTalks Cluj remains, beyond anything, a place built for community, for experience sharing, questions, ideas and connexions that continue after sessions end
