As AI-powered tools increasingly automate code generation and routine tasks in software development, the competitive edge of technical teams is shifting “upstream.” Heapcon 2026 goes beyond the story of automation and raises a deeper question: what does intelligence really mean in engineering practice today?

While the program will cover topics such as AI-assisted development processes, the focus will be on the cognitive and strategic demands placed on technical leaders. As task execution becomes more automated, the importance of human judgment, systemic thinking, and deep technological understanding becomes greater than ever.

Heapcon 2026 is an invitation to everyone who sees software not just as a collection of functionalities, but as a discipline where critical technological decisions are made.

Key Information

Call for Speakers: The call for speakers is now open. Heapcon is looking for experienced practitioners ready to share technical “deep dive” analyses, concrete case studies, and real-world experiences from modern software development.

Blind Bird Tickets: A limited series of tickets is available with a 40% discount. This is an opportunity for the community to secure early access to the conference before the speaker lineup is announced.

Heapcon is one of the leading technology conferences in the region, bringing together over 700 software engineers, architects, and technical leaders in Belgrade every year. Through lectures, discussions, and the exchange of experiences, the conference provides a platform for conversations about the ideas, technologies, and engineering practices shaping the future of software development.

The conference is organized by Heapspace, an organization that for more than two decades has been building and connecting the tech scene in Serbia through events and initiatives dedicated to knowledge and experience sharing.
