AI DevWorld is an AI and machine learning conference for software developers, organised by DevNetwork and co-located with DeveloperWeek. It is designed both for engineers and data scientists getting started with AI and for experienced practitioners looking for a broad survey of the current tooling landscape, with eight tracks covering agentic AI, AI and ML engineering, AI-augmented software development, data storage and training, AI operations and MCP infrastructure, AI security, enterprise adoption and an executive summit. The 2027 edition takes place from 9 to 11 February at the Santa Clara Convention Center in the heart of Silicon Valley. The organisers describe it as the largest AI developer conference of its kind and report around 6,000 participants across the conference, expo, hackathon and partner events, with more than 100 exhibitors. The opening day is reserved for PRO workshops and the DEVIES awards, followed by two days of keynotes, open sessions, an expo and a hackathon that ends with a demo of the top teams. Evening events support informal networking. For developers integrating large language models into real products, this AI developer conference in Santa Clara in 2027 offers practical, engineering-led coverage of a fast-moving field.

This AI event lands in Santa Clara in February, in the middle of the Valley's wet green season, with cool afternoons and early sunsets. The convention quarter sits at the heart of a corridor that now runs on machine learning: NVIDIA's headquarters is minutes away, and the surrounding office parks house a dense concentration of AI infrastructure companies. The immediate area rewards curiosity about industrial history more than scenery.
San Jose International (SJC) is the closest airport, about 10-15 minutes by road, with San Francisco (SFO) roughly an hour north and Oakland (OAK) comparable. Ground transport is dominated by rideshare; VTA light rail serves the convention district and Caltrain links the peninsula. Traffic on Highway 101 is heavy in both directions during weekday commuting hours, so allow extra time.

The convention centre and surrounding hotels offer strong, high-capacity Wi-Fi. Coverage is weaker in the foothill parks east of the city. Overseas attendees usually find an eSIM the cheapest route to data on a short US trip. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
Moffett Field and Hangar One. The vast 1930s airship hangar at the former naval air station north of Santa Clara is visible from the freeway and remains one of the largest freestanding structures in the world. Public access is restricted, but the adjacent Moffett Field Historical Society museum explains the site. Around an hour.
Winchester Mystery House. In San Jose, fifteen minutes away, a sprawling Victorian mansion built continuously for decades with staircases into ceilings and doors opening onto walls. Guided tours are the only way in. Ninety minutes, and booking a timed slot ahead avoids waiting. Tickets on Tiqets →
San Jose Museum of Art. A compact contemporary collection downtown with a consistent focus on new media and technology-driven work, which suits this audience. It is easy to combine with dinner in the surrounding blocks. Ninety minutes is sufficient, and it closes on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Alum Rock Park. California's oldest municipal park, in the foothills east of San Jose, with mineral springs, a creek canyon and trails that are at their greenest in February. Twenty-five minutes by car from the convention district. Two to three hours for a moderate loop; trails are muddy after rain.
Which airport is nearest?
San Jose (SJC), roughly 10-15 minutes from the Santa Clara convention area by road.
Is the venue area walkable?
The convention centre, hotels and stadium district are walkable together, but anything beyond that needs a car or rideshare.
What is the February climate?
Northern Californian winter — cool, green and often rainy, with afternoon highs near 15C.
