General
Anyone and everyone who builds, integrates, and analyzes solutions across the Workday platform will be there. We bring together developers, engineers, integration consultants, IT leaders, architects, and project leaders—as well as Workday employees—to help them build their skills and knowledge using Workday developer technology.
We expect approximately 1,200 in-person attendees this year.
Attendees get access to future-focused keynotes, hands-on learning, developer-led meetups, Braindates, and Product Innovation sessions on topics such as Workday Extend Professional, Workday Illuminate™, Workday Orchestrate, and Workday Prism Analytics.
While we offered a series of sessions for the FP&A audience in 2023, we are no longer offering FP&A-focused sessions at Workday DevCon.
Braindate is a peer-to-peer networking platform where everyone can connect, solve shared challenges, and exchange success stories. You can host a 1:1 Braindate for 30 minutes or a group Braindate for 45 minutes.
Starting on May 5, registered attendees can schedule or join a Braindate by logging in to the Braindate platform within the Workday DevCon Attendee Portal.
