The countdown is on for API World 2026, the World’s API Conference,, staged in Santa Clara, United States from 1 September 2026 to 3 September 2026 and set to gather the sector under one roof. Drawing speakers and delegates from around the world, it offers a focused platform for learning and connection. The annual format gives organisers time to raise the bar with every return. A truly international crowd of about 1500 attendees is expected. The event is organised by DevNetwork, bringing proven expertise in delivering world-class gatherings. The chosen home is Santa Clara Convention Center, where generous floor space and good transport links do half the work.

Set against the backdrop of Santa Clara, API World 2026 benefits from everything the city has to offer — from its transport links to its after-hours appeal. Whether you fly in or come by rail, Santa Clara is well served and easy to move around. Rooms near the venue go quickly around the dates, but the wider city offers plenty of alternatives within easy reach. Factor in some downtime, because Santa Clara is the kind of city that turns a work trip into something more. Few places in the United States are as well suited to hosting the international crowd this event attracts as Santa Clara.

Whether microservices is your focus or you want the wider view, Microservices, Software Integration, Api Design, Api, Api Security and Software are covered from several angles. Interactive formats keep the audience in the room and the discussion honest, well beyond the usual slide decks. Structured matchmaking and informal meetups help attendees find the right people. Featured speakers include Saahil Jain (CTO, You.com), Kathy Baxter (Principal Architect of Responsible AI & Tech, Salesforce) and Muddu Sudhakar (SVP & GM, Agentforce IT Service & HR Service, Salesforce) — among 6 confirmed speakers in total.

Attendees leave with fresh ideas, new contacts and a clearer view of where the industry is heading. API World 2026 has become a dependable highlight for researchers, operators and enthusiasts, and this edition looks no different.

Full programme details, exhibitor lists and registration information are typically published in the run-up to the event on the official website.
