ABBYY Ascend DevCon reflects ABBYY’s long-term commitment to innovators building the next generation of intelligent automation solutions. This event prioritizes hands-on learning, technical collaboration, and community engagement in enterprise AI development. Participants will work directly with ABBYY experts and colleagues to design scalable document automation solutions, combining purpose-built AI and large-scale language models to increase accuracy and token usage efficiency, and build end-to-end ingestion and extraction workflows that withstand real-world business environments.
ABBYY Ascend DevCon balances strategy and practice
Day 1 explores how companies can move from AI experimentation to automation and measurable outcomes with enterprise-grade agents. Day two moves into hands-on technical sessions including the ABBYY AI Lab, large-scale containerized deployments, and the opportunity to earn certification directly from the ABBYY team. Attendees can expect sessions that highlight trusted, actionable data, governance, and the reliability required for business-critical workflows.
ABBYY Hackathon will be held again this year. This hackathon is popular for giving developers the opportunity to build working prototypes using ABBYY AI and present them live to a panel of expert judges. Each selected team will compete to ship something real, pitch it to the people shaping the technology, and gain recognition far beyond the event. AI coding tools are welcomed and encouraged, lowering barriers and allowing developers of all backgrounds to participate and contribute.

The conference advances ABBYY’s extensive investments in developer growth and open standards. As a founding contributor to the recently formed DocLang consortium working group, ABBYY is helping define shared standards for document understanding that provide developers with a stronger, more interoperable foundation for trusted enterprise AI.
“Developers are the architects of intelligent enterprises, and our job is to provide the tools, standards, and community they need to build AI they can actually trust.” Neil Murphy, ABBYY Chief Revenue Officer. “ABBYY Ascend DevCon is where that happens.
