Our journey with applied AI continues to evolve!
After another sold-out event and phenomenal feedback in 2025, Uphill Conf returns on May 7 & 8, 2026 for its sixth edition — and once again, the spotlight is on the real-world impact of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning on software engineering.
Tailored specifically for software developers, Uphill Conf 2026 focuses on practical, hands-on applications. This year, we’re doubling down on real projects where companies are using AI in production. Through a holistic introduction and a wide range of live examples, the event demonstrates how the latest AI advancements are reshaping the way we build and improve software.
See you soon!
