Introduction
droidcon India 2026 is the second edition of the Android developer conference in Bengaluru, and it takes place on Friday 20 November 2026 at Conrad Bengaluru. droidcon is a global conference series for Android developers, and the India edition brings that format to one of the world's largest Android markets.
The official listing promises more than 40 technical Android talks across four conference tracks running in parallel, plus workshops, codelabs, a leadership summit and unconference roundtables. The sponsor deck lists 60 speakers and panellists. For Android developers in India, it is the most focused single-day gathering of the year for the platform.
Event Overview
droidcon India 2026 runs from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM IST at Conrad Bengaluru on Kensington Road, Halasuru. The venue is a 24 storey hotel in the central business district overlooking Ulsoor Lake, according to the ticketing page. The event is the second edition of droidcon India.
The programme is built around four parallel conference tracks, which means attendees choose between sessions throughout the day. Alongside the talks, the event runs hands-on instructor-led workshops, a leadership summit for staff and principal engineers and engineering managers of mobile teams, and unconference roundtables where the audience sets the agenda around pressing challenges.
What to Expect
The published topic list covers the full Android stack: What's New in Android, Jetpack Compose, Jetpack and Architecture Components, Architecture, Advanced Kotlin, Kotlin Multiplatform, Testing, Infrastructure and CI/CD, Cross and Multiplatform Development, AI and ML, UI/UX and Design, Career and levelling up, Core Skills, Case Studies and Research, and Open Source.
The ticket includes in-person access to the conference sessions, workshops, unconference roundtables, panel discussions and keynotes, an exclusive droidcon India T-shirt and sponsor swag, a buffet lunch at Conrad and high tea with cookies twice during the day. Ticket holders also get event and industry updates through the organisers' newsletters and an invitation letter to support visa applications for droidcon's global events and next.app devCon in Berlin.
A combined ticket covers both droidcon India on 20 November and flutterCon India on 21 November, for developers who work across both platforms.
Who Should Attend
droidcon India is for Android developers at every level, from engineers shipping their first app to staff and principal engineers leading mobile teams. The leadership summit is aimed specifically at senior engineers and engineering managers. The unconference roundtables suit people who want to work through real problems with peers rather than only listen to talks.
The event also fits developers working in Kotlin Multiplatform or cross-platform development, QA and testing engineers focused on mobile, and designers working on Android UI and UX. Students can attend on a discounted student ticket with a valid student ID or proof of full-time enrolment.

Venue and Location

Why This Event Matters
Android is the dominant mobile platform in India, and Bengaluru is home to a large share of the country's Android engineering talent. A dedicated Android conference matters because the platform moves fast: Jetpack Compose, Kotlin Multiplatform and AI on device have all changed how Android apps are built in the last few years, and keeping up requires learning from people who have shipped with the new tools.
droidcon's format is also worth noting. Four parallel tracks and 40 plus talks in a single day make it a dense event, and the unconference roundtables and leadership summit add formats that a standard talk-only conference does not offer. For a working Android developer, it is a concentrated way to compare notes with peers and to hear directly from the people building the platform.
