It's a tradition at this point - JetBrains is bringing back IntelliJ IDEA Conf on September 8–9, 2026. 
The free, fully virtual conference for our Java and JVM ecosystem. 
This year’s program looks at how Java development is evolving, from the typical stack (Spring, Quarkus, GraalVM) to the foundational role of AI agents and AI-assisted development.

Across two days, developers can join live technical sessions on topics including:
  • Building practical autonomous agents for Java development
  • The evolution of Java for AI
  • Spring development and AI-assisted workflows
  • LangChain4j and JetBrains Koog
  • What you can build with Quarkus
  • Polyglot development with GraalVM
  • Secure containerized development workflows with Docker
  • Spec-driven development with AI agents

All sessions will be streamed live, with time for Q&A with the speakers:
