OpenAI is taking DevDay on the road with city-specific developer events. Bengaluru to Mexico City get hands-on sessions, and apps are still open.

OpenAI is sending DevDay beyond one stage and into eight cities. The company is calling the series DevDay Exchange, and the pitch is simple: bring developers and technical founders together to build, swap notes, and meet OpenAI’s own product and engineering teams face to face.
The format sounds less like a polished conference and more like a working session. OpenAI says attendees can expect technical talks, real-world projects and Codex workflows from founders and developers, hands-on help with their own projects, and open conversations with the company’s teams and other builders. Each stop is meant to reflect its city rather than feel like a copy-paste tour date.
The first stop is Bengaluru on October 16. After that come Tokyo on October 20, Seoul on October 22, Berlin on October 26, Paris on October 28, London on November 3, São Paulo on November 6, and Mexico City on November 10. All events begin at 2pm local time.
Applications are already being reviewed, but OpenAI still wants people to apply. Venue details and the full program will arrive only after approval, which keeps the whole thing a bit opaque. But that also fits the vibe here: less public spectacle, more selective builder meet-up with the company at the center of it.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
OpenAI clearly knows the market doesn’t just want keynotes anymore; it wants access, feedback, and a little proximity to the people writing the tools. That’s smart, and also very on-brand for a company that understands the difference between community and marketing. The real test is whether these events feel like useful builder sessions or just DevDay with extra stamps in the passport.
