iOSDevUK 2027

About the event

iOSDevUK is a UK conference for iOS developers, held in Aberystwyth, Wales. It started in 2011 as the UK's first conference for iPhone developers, and the site says it has drawn hundreds of developers each year since. The 2026 edition has finished, and the next one is set for 6 to 9 September 2027.

The format runs from Monday afternoon to Thursday lunchtime, followed by an optional hack. Workshops are included in the ticket price before and after the main conference, and the organizers say there are typically around 25 other talks covering many aspects of iOS development. The event stresses content, community and affordability, with a broad range of speakers and contributions from attendees rather than a few headline names. Early-bird pricing has been £200, low enough that companies bring whole teams. A call for speaker proposals is planned for December.

This is a learning and community event for iOS developers. The site does not mention investors or app buyers, so it is not a place to make deals, though it is a good setting to meet experienced iOS engineers and compare practices with other app teams.

Who should attend

Suited to iOS developers, team leads and small app companies, especially teams that want to send several people to a multi-day event with workshops. Attendees get talks, hands-on sessions and time with peers.

Tips: if you plan to sell your app, use the sessions to learn how other teams document and maintain their codebases, since buyers look at that. Bring a concise summary of your app's architecture and metrics to share in conversations.
