What is ATX.DEV?
ATX.DEV is Austin's premier developer-first AI conference. We bring together software engineers, AI practitioners, and technical leaders for a day of high-signal learning, hands-on workshops, and authentic connection—without the corporate fluff or hype-driven noise.
Rooted in Austin's unique maker culture, ATX.DEV celebrates the craft of building. Our sessions focus on what actually works: practical techniques, real-world case studies, and honest conversations about the tools and approaches that are shaping the future of software development.
Whether you're integrating LLMs into production systems, exploring agentic architectures, or simply curious about where AI and development intersect, you'll find your people here. Come to learn, build, and connect with a community that values substance over spectacle.
Our Mission
We believe the best conferences are built by and for practitioners. Our mission is to create a space where developers can share real experiences, learn practical skills, and form genuine connections with others who are passionate about building great software. No sales pitches, no hype cycles—just developers helping developers.
Our Team
ATX.DEV is organized by a dedicated group of Austin-based developers and community leaders who are passionate about creating meaningful tech events. We're committed to making this conference a welcoming, high-quality experience for everyone who attends.
