- PayPal Dev Days for Agentic DevelopersPayPal (TownHall Bldg), San Jose, CA
** Important**: Register on the event website is REQUIRED for admission.
##### A new era of agentic AI + commerce starts at PayPal Dev Days
AI that can reason, act, adapt, and optimize will redefine how consumers discover, decide, and pay. Commerce is no longer transactional — it’s anticipatory. And developers like you are leading the charge. PayPal Dev Days is a call to get ready for the future of AI and commerce. It’s a call to builders, tinkerers, and systems-thinkers shaping the next wave of intelligent applications.
Join us for PayPal Dev Days if you have a passion for building autonomous agents, love designing payment-aware recommendation systems, or currently work on creating AI copilots, marketplace logic, or intent-based interfaces.
Why attend:
- Build alongside with PayPal engineers and a global network of AI developers.
- Get early access to our new agentic AI toolkit, built in collaboration with Replit, Postman, GitHub Copilot, and OpenAI technologies.
- Prototype using our new server-side SDK and the all-new Vault and Checkout infrastructure.
- Design intent-driven applications using real-time payment signals and advanced recommendation APIs.
What is in store:
- Keynotes: The future of AI in commerce — what we're building, why it matters, and where you come in, by Alex Chriss (President & CEO), Srini Venkatesan (EVP & CTO), and Prakhar Mehrotra (SVP, Head of AI)
- Developer Hackathon: We’ll give you access to our advanced code automation tools to design, build, and experiment. Get hands-on with how we are using adaptive technology to streamline your development process. Showcase your team’s final project in the demo lightning round during our closing reception with awards and recognition (not to mention bragging rights) for creativity and innovation.
