Silicon Valley is certainly not new territory for us. Over the years, we have attended many developer conferences and community events throughout the Bay Area, from DeveloperWeek to the legendary Silicon Valley Code Camp. We have met countless developers, customers, partners, and friends there, demonstrated new generations of our technology, and had some of the most interesting technical conversations at events in this part of the world. This time, however, there is something new: WeAreDevelopers is bringing its World Congress to North America, and we are excited to be part of it. ### A New Developer Event in the Heart of the Tech Industry We know WeAreDevelopers very well from its major events in Europe, and bringing this format to North America and the Bay Area is an exciting next step. We are especially looking forward to the expo, where leading technology companies, developers, engineering leaders, architects, and innovators will come together in one place. ![WeAreDevelopers World Congress North America](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2026/08/10/a/assets/wearedevs.webp "WeAreDevelopers World Congress North America") For us, this is one of the most valuable aspects of a great developer conference. An expo is not simply a collection of booths where companies demonstrate products. It is a place to exchange ideas, compare technologies, discuss real-world development challenges, meet the people building the tools we all use, and get a concentrated view of where our industry is heading. We are looking forward to meeting existing customers and partners, making new connections, catching up with friends in the developer community, and, of course, seeing many of the leading companies in our industry on the show floor. ### Bringing Our Latest Document Processing Technology At our booth, we will demonstrate the latest generation of [TX Text Control document processing technology](https://www.textcontrol.com/technology/) and show how developers can integrate professional document functionality into modern business applications. ![WeAreDevelopers World Congress North America](https://s1-www.textcontrol.com/assets/dist/blog/2026/08/10/a/assets/booth.webp "WeAreDevelopers World Congress North America") Our [Document Editor](https://www.textcontrol.com/technology/html5/) brings true WYSIWYG word processing to web applications, providing sophisticated editing capabilities, complex document layouts, tables, sections, headers and footers, form fields, tracked changes, and a comprehensive JavaScript API. It enables developers to provide the kind of document editing experience users expect from desktop word processors directly inside their own web applications. We will also demonstrate our [Document Viewer](https://www.textcontrol.com/technology/viewing/) for displaying PDF, DOCX, and other document formats directly in the browser, including annotations, forms, and digital signature workflows. Combined with our editor and backend technologies, it provides the foundation for complete document workflows without requiring users to leave the application. Another major focus will be [Reporting and MailMerge](https://www.textcontrol.com/technology/reporting/). TX Text Control can combine visually designed templates with structured business data to generate invoices, contracts, reports, statements, letters, and other complex documents. Templates can contain repeating blocks, nested data, tables, images, merge fields, and sophisticated layouts while the backend generates pixel-perfect DOCX and PDF documents at enterprise scale. Our [server-side document processing technology](https://www.textcontrol.com/technology/workflow/) provides high-performance document creation, conversion, and processing for applications running on Windows, Linux, Docker, and modern cloud environments. Developers can create and process DOCX, PDF, PDF/A, PDF/UA, and many other industry-standard formats without relying on an installed office application. We will also show our latest [PDF and digital signature technologies](https://www.textcontrol.com/technology/esign/), including PDF forms, certificate-based signatures, trusted timestamps, accessible PDF/UA documents, archival PDF/A workflows, and other capabilities required for professional and regulated document processes. Together, these technologies provide a complete platform for applications that need to create, edit, generate, convert, view, process, and sign documents. ### When AI Meets Professional Document Processing AI will naturally be an important topic at the conference, and it has also become an exciting new part of how developers can use our technology. With the [TX Text Control MCP Server and agent skills](https://www.textcontrol.com/technology/ai/), AI agents can access professional document processing capabilities through a controlled automation layer. Instead of expecting a language model to somehow construct complex Word or PDF documents itself, an agent can use dedicated tools to create documents, work with templates and structured data, insert tables and fields, manipulate document content, and generate professional output. This becomes particularly interesting as AI evolves from answering questions to actually performing tasks. Agents increasingly need access to specialized technologies through APIs and tools, and document processing is a perfect example. Creating a legally relevant PDF, generating a complex report from business data, or manipulating a sophisticated DOCX document requires much more than generating text. ### A New Generation of Web Document Editing We will also be talking about one of the technologies we are most excited about right now: Our upcoming **WebAssembly document editor**. Our existing web editor already provides true WYSIWYG document editing in the browser. With the new WebAssembly architecture, the document processing engine itself moves into the browser, allowing editing to happen locally without continuous WebSocket or HTTP communication while the user is working. This architecture dramatically reduces server requirements and opens new possibilities for scaling web applications while also enabling scenarios in which document editing can continue without a permanent connection to the backend. It is an important evolution of our web technology, and Silicon Valley feels like exactly the right place to show where professional browser-based document editing is heading next. ### See You in Silicon Valley There is still plenty to prepare before the doors open, from booth designs and demos to everything else that goes into a major conference, but the excitement is already building. After many great visits to the Bay Area over the years, we are looking forward to returning for a completely new event and experiencing the first WeAreDevelopers World Congress North America. We expect an amazing expo, great technical discussions, familiar faces, new connections, and a few very busy days surrounded by people who love building software. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, you will find a shiny magenta **Text Control** booth. If you are attending, come by, meet the team, challenge us with your document processing requirements, and see what we have been building. --- ## About Bjoern Meyer As CEO, Bjoern is the visionary behind our strategic direction and business development, bridging the gap between our customers and engineering teams.
