Amazon Innovation Jam 2026 is a free, in-person conference for tech professionals, scientists, and students eager to explore the future of artificial intelligence, software engineering, and cloud technologies.
The event brings together Amazon engineers, international experts, and thought leaders from Poland, the US, and the UK to share insights on cutting-edge research, real-world applications, and the journey from innovation to product.
Participation is open to experienced engineers, advanced researchers, but also to students and early-career talents. While attendance is free of charge, final selection will be based on the professional background and fit with the event’s focus areas.
Join us to experience Amazon’s innovation culture, connect with peers, and discover the technologies shaping tomorrow.
Dive into AI-driven innovations that are shaping product management, improving user experiences, and advancing machine learning workflows. Sessions will explore generative AI in voice technologies, sound quality measurement, and managing complex ML experiments using AWS tools.
Learn about the latest advancements in software development, video streaming technologies and QA. Gain insights into monitoring web applications, testing streaming solutions for reliability, and improving performance through cutting-edge tools and frameworks.
Engage with industry professionals, Amazon experts, and thought leaders. Get a behind-the-scenes look at Amazon’s technology ecosystem and explore career opportunities, all while building meaningful connections during the networking events and afterparty.
Stay tuned!
Remember when Alexa’s favorite line was “Hmm, I can’t help you with that” We do too. Alexa started with commands, useful, yes, but not exactly conversational. In this session, Jakub Kocinski pulls back the curtain on Alexa’s glow-up into Alexa+: a reasoning, context-aware conversational assistant powered by LLMs. He’ll show how Alexa went from rigid pipelines to a new “brain” that can actually talk with you, not at you. Expect behind-the-scenes stories, showcasing new wow features (yes, it can book that restaurant now), and candid lessons from transforming a global voice platform. And finally, a peek at the future: an agentic Alexa that won’t just answer, it’ll take action.
Artificial Intelligence often looks like magic from the outside, but behind every successful AI project there’s no wizardry, only the right culture of experimentation. Without it, most ideas stay trapped in endless prototypes. In this session, we’ll explore how Amazon’s innovation principles create an environment where bold ideas can thrive. We’ll connect these cultural practices to the world of generative AI, showing how they help teams move from experiments to real business impact. You’ll also see how AWS Bedrock transforms AI from a costly bet into a safe, scalable playground for innovation. You’ll walk away with practical strategies – and maybe a new perspective on why culture beats magic every time.
Stay tuned – more speakers will be announced soon.
The Amazon Development Center Poland (ADCP) is a key hub for Amazon’s global innovation, with over 1,000 engineers working in Gdańsk, Warsaw, and Kraków. ADCP focuses on developing advanced technologies like Generative AI, Text-to-Speech (TTS), and Natural Language Processing (NLP). We contribute to the global successes of Alexa, Ring, and Blink.
ADCP plays a crucial role in advancing Alexa’s voice AI capabilities, including developing more natural interactions through TTS and Generative AI. Our engineers help make Alexa smarter and more responsive, significantly enriching the user experience for millions worldwide.
At Ring, we provide smart home security products that offer affordable whole-home and neighborhood security. From the Ring Video Doorbell to Ring Security Cameras, we enhance traditional security options by connecting security and smart devices throughout the home.
The Blink team develops reliable, affordable, and easy-to-use video monitoring systems. We’ve created battery-powered indoor and outdoor cameras and are continuously developing new products, from chip design to complete end-user systems.
At AWS (Amazon Web Services), we build the world's most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform, offering more than 240 fully featured services. From AI and machine learning to storage, networking, and databases, our teams deliver secure, scalable solutions that help millions of organizations innovate faster, lower costs, and build the future on the cloud.
At Amazon AI, our teams are building next-generation AI-powered services and foundation models. We develop core multimodal capabilities such as speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and new features that will power a wide range of Amazon and third-party applications. By advancing these fundamental services, we help create more natural, inclusive, and scalable AI experiences across the ecosystem.
With Amazon Sidewalk, we extend connectivity beyond the front door through a secure, low-bandwidth, and low-power shared network. Our engineers enable smart lights, sensors, and trackers to work reliably even outside Wi-Fi range. Thanks to multiple layers of encryption and built-in privacy protections, Sidewalk makes connected devices more useful and everyday experiences more seamless.
At Amazon Key for Business, we deliver a smart access solution that enables secure, convenient deliveries directly into multi-unit buildings. By integrating with existing building access systems, our teams help ensure packages arrive safely while reducing missed deliveries. Property managers and residents alike benefit from streamlined operations and enhanced security, improving the delivery experience for everyone.
Be part of Amazon Development Center Poland’s flagship tech event, where engineers, scientists, and builders come together to share knowledge, demo solutions, and explore the future of innovation. Reserve your spot now and connect with experts, peers, and trailblazers shaping the next wave of AI, cloud, and smart technologies.
