OpenAI is setting its next DevDay for Tuesday, September 29, 2026, in San Francisco. The in-person applications are already closed, so the only easy way in now is the livestream for the opening keynote.
The event is pitched as a technical meetup more than a glossy product parade. OpenAI says developers will get sessions on APIs and tools, hands-on demos and workshops, and time to swap notes with the teams building its software. The company also says attendees should bring their best questions and ideas.
And this isn’t meant to stay a one-city affair. OpenAI says DevDay Exchanges are coming to Bengaluru, Tokyo, Seoul, Paris, Berlin, London, São Paulo, and Mexico City. Applications for those events are open through the link on the page.
The page itself is sparse, but the signal is clear: OpenAI wants developers close, and it wants them close in multiple time zones. There’s a keynote for the crowd, technical sessions for the builders, and a growing circuit of smaller gatherings for everyone who missed San Francisco. A tidy little empire of meetups, basically.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
OpenAI has figured out the oldest trick in tech: call it developer-first, then build a traveling stage around it. The real competition isn’t just model quality anymore; it’s who can keep builders in the room long enough to feel inevitable. The roadshow says a lot about where the attention war is now.
