droidCon USA

About the event

droidCon USA is the North American edition of the droidcon conference series for Android developers. It started in New York in 2014 as droidcon NYC, with Touchlab behind the first event, and ran there for about a decade. Citing rising costs in New York, the organizer Mobile Seasons moved it to Orlando, Florida, in 2026, saying the move would lower ticket prices and make the event easier to reach for developers across North and South America. The 2026 edition was a two-day, in-person event at the Orange County Convention Center.

The program is technical. It mixes expert talks, hands-on sessions and workshops, roundtables and networking, and adds side formats such as a TechLead Summit, an Unsolved Unconference and an Agentic Engineering Track. For 2026 the site listed about 90 speakers and panelists, 70 sessions and workshops, and 800 Android developers. Speakers came from companies such as Google, JetBrains and Airbnb. The organizer says that from 2027 it plans to bring Android, Flutter, React Native, iOS and gaming developers together under one roof.

The audience is mostly Android engineers, tech leads and mobile development teams. App buyers, acquirers and investors are not described as part of the audience. For app founders this is a place to learn and meet the community, not a place to make deals.

Who should attend

Best suited to Android engineers, tech leads and founders who build their own apps and want current technical knowledge, including agentic engineering and team leadership, plus contact with experienced peers. It is less useful for finding buyers or investors.

If you are preparing to sell an app, use the event to talk with engineering leads about code quality, build setup and maintainability, since buyers will check these during due diligence. Bring a short summary of your app's tech stack so you can get candid feedback in hallway conversations.
