Sber will organize the SmartDev 2023 technology conference in a move that signals a strong commitment to advancing the technology sector in Russia and beyond. The event is scheduled for September 21 and will take place at the Moscow Oktyabr cinema, a venue chosen for its access to a wide network of developers, engineers, analysts, and other technology professionals who shape the future of software and systems.
This year’s gathering brings together top engineers and developers from Sberbank, VK, Yandex, Kaspersky, and several other prominent technology firms. The aim is to create a single, collaborative space where practitioners can share insights, showcase practical solutions, and discuss how emerging technologies are reshaping the way products are designed, built, and delivered. The lineup promises a rich mix of case studies, demonstrations, and interactive sessions that underscore the practical value of cutting-edge tools and architectures.
In a statement reflecting the event’s trajectory, a Sber technology leader noted the conference’s evolution since its first edition in 2021. The speaker highlighted substantial progress in high-tech development, with a particular emphasis on advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence that empower developers to build smarter, more capable systems. The current plan views SmartDev as a premier platform for expert exchange, where developers and businesses come together to learn, collaborate, and drive real-world impact. The sentiment is that the conference has matured into a key gathering for sharing knowledge on how to apply the latest tech effectively in real-world contexts.
Across the program, IT professionals will explore six core topics designed to address both foundational and frontier areas of technology. Attendees will encounter sessions on machine learning and artificial intelligence, architectural patterns that support scalable and resilient systems, methodologies and tools that boost developer productivity, technologies for storing and analyzing big data, security considerations intrinsic to modern software, and how strategic thinking connects innovation to practical outcomes. The structure aims to balance theory with hands-on demonstrations, encouraging practical takeaways that can be translated into ongoing projects, products, and research.
