Huawei’s Developers Conference is set for June 12-14, tickets are already on sale
Huawei Sets the Stage for HDC 2026: HarmonyOS Next and AI Take the Spotlight
Huawei just locked in the dates for its highly anticipated Developers Conference (HDC), and it’s shaping up to be a defining moment for the company’s software ecosystem. Mark your calendars for June 12 through June 14, as that’s when we’ll get a deep dive into the future of Huawei’s independent OS.
If you’re planning on attending in person, here’s the scoop on tickets. While the early bird spots were snapped up in late April, you still have two more windows to grab a pass: new batches are dropping on May 13 and May 20.
Ticket Tiers & Pricing
Huawei is offering a range of options, making it relatively accessible for students and seasoned developers alike:
- Student Pass: Just CNY 88 (approx. $13) for single-day access on June 14.
- Standard Single-Day: CNY 198 ($29) for developers.
- Two-Day Pass: CNY 498 ($73).
- Full Three-Day Pass: Starts at CNY 698 ($102).
For those looking for a premium experience, higher-tier tickets include perks like better seating for the main keynote, upgraded catering, and “equipment packs”—which typically feature exclusive event swag.
The Main Attraction: HarmonyOS Next
Even if you aren’t traveling to the event, this is one worth watching from home. This year, all eyes are on HarmonyOS Next (likely the commercial name for version 7). This isn’t just a minor update; it’s being described as a total evolution of the ecosystem.
The official word from the event page suggests that AI breakthroughs are taking center stage. Huawei is looking to integrate artificial intelligence deep into the framework of the OS, rather than just adding it as a surface-level feature. It’s a bold move as the company continues to refine its completely self-reliant software landscape.
Whether you’re a developer eager for new APIs or a tech enthusiast curious about the next generation of mobile software, June is going to be a month of big reveals.
