Hosted by Global AI Berlin

KanDDDinsky ’26 brings Domain-Driven Design and AI-assisted software development to Berlin from 14–16 October 2026 for talks, hands-on sessions and Open Space. Now in its ninth edition, KanDDDinsky is a community-led conference for people who build business software and want to improve how they design, develop and evolve it. Around 300 attendees will gather at the Park Inn by Radisson Berlin Alexanderplatz Hotel in Berlin to learn from world-renowned experts, hear fresh community voices and exchange practical experience with peers. This is deliberately not a vendor conference. The emphasis is on collaborative learning, useful ideas and real-world software development rather than product pitches. The 2026 programme will place particular focus on AI-assisted software development in the context of Domain-Driven Design, exploring this fast-moving area through the conference’s established community format. Format and schedule KanDDDinsky ’26 combines several ways to participate: - Conference talks and hands-on sessions: 14–15 October - Open Space day: 16 October - Pre-conference workshops: 12–13 October The main event listing runs from 08:00 on Wednesday 14 October until 16:00 CEST on Friday 16 October. Talks offer access to expert and community perspectives, while hands-on sessions and workshops create opportunities to engage more directly with the material. The Open Space day gives participants a more collaborative setting in which the community can shape discussions around the subjects that matter most to them. Who should attend? The event is designed for software practitioners interested in Domain-Driven Design, artificial intelligence and the challenges of building effective business software. It will be particularly relevant to developers, architects and other technical professionals who want to examine AI-assisted development through the lens of software design and business context.
