BENGALURU: ABBYY Ascend DevCon, ABBYY’s flagship developer conference, is set to return to Bengaluru on July 22–23, 2026, marking the fourth regional edition of the event.
The ABBYY Ascend DevCon has witnessed significant growth over the past four years, with conference attendance quadrupling as developers, architects, engineers, technical leaders, and innovation professionals gather to build, learn, and collaborate on the future of enterprise AI and document understanding.
The annual ABBYY Ascend DevCon underscores ABBYY’s long-term commitment to the global developer community that is creating next-generation intelligent automation solutions.
The conference focuses on hands-on learning, technical collaboration, and fostering community engagement in enterprise AI development.
Participants attending ABBYY Ascend DevCon will have the opportunity to work directly with ABBYY experts and industry peers to design scalable document automation solutions.
The event will showcase how purpose-built AI combined with large language models (LLMs) can deliver greater accuracy and improved token efficiency while enabling robust end-to-end ingestion and extraction workflows suited for real-world business environments.

ABBYY Ascend DevCon Balances Strategy with Practical Learning
The two-day conference is structured to provide both strategic insights and practical implementation guidance.
The first day of ABBYY Ascend DevCon will focus on how enterprises can transition from AI experimentation to enterprise-grade, agentic automation that delivers measurable business outcomes.
Discussions will center on scaling AI initiatives while maintaining reliability, governance, and trust.
The second day will feature extensive hands-on technical sessions, including ABBYY AI Labs, containerized deployment strategies designed for scalability, and certification opportunities offered directly by the ABBYY team.
Sessions will emphasize trusted and actionable data, governance frameworks, and the reliability required for business-critical workflows.
A major highlight returning to ABBYY Ascend DevCon is the ABBYY Hackathon, which offers developers the opportunity to build working prototypes using ABBYY AI technologies and present them live before an expert judging panel.
Selected teams will develop real-world solutions, pitch them directly to technology leaders, and compete for recognition that extends beyond the conference itself.
The hackathon encourages the use of AI coding tools, lowering barriers to participation and enabling developers from diverse backgrounds to contribute.
The conference also reinforces ABBYY’s broader commitment to developer enablement and open standards. As a founding contributor to the recently established DocLang consortium working group, ABBYY is helping shape common standards for document understanding, providing developers with a stronger and more interoperable foundation for trustworthy enterprise AI.
“Developers are the architects of the intelligent enterprise, and our job is to give them the tools, standards, and community they need to build AI that businesses can actually trust,” said Neil Murphy, Chief Revenue Officer at ABBYY.
“ABBYY Ascend DevCon is where that happens. We invest in builders because purpose-built AI only delivers measurable value when the people creating it have the right foundation, real-world practice, and a community pushing the work forward.”
Commenting on the importance of India within ABBYY’s innovation ecosystem, Alicja Wolanczyk, Senior Director of Global Partnerships and Alliances at ABBYY, said, “India has become one of ABBYY’s most vibrant innovation communities and plays a pivotal role in advancing our developer ecosystem.
Through a growing network of Centers of Excellence and our expanding ABBYY MVP community, we’re bringing together developers, architects, and technical leaders who share knowledge, accelerate adoption, and help shape the future of enterprise AI.”
Attendance for ABBYY Ascend DevCon is curated, and participation capacity remains limited. Developers and technical leaders interested in attending can register their interest through ABBYY’s official registration platform.
