Technology is evolving at a breakneck speed—from generative AI and autonomous agents, to scalable cloud infrastructure and modern web standards. What better way to stay connected, than to roll up your sleeves, experiment, and build alongside a thriving global community at your local DevFest.

Build, Secure and Scale in the Agentic Era

DevFest is the world’s largest, annual, community-led event series aimed to educate developers and builders about Google’s latest technologies. Hosted by Google Developer Groups (GDG), DevFest will run from October 1 through December 31, 2026. Across 800+ global events, almost 1 million attendees will gather across 115 countries, to connect and learn how to build, secure, and scale in the agentic era.

Through interactive sessions and workshops, Devfest will deep dive into the latest Google AI technologies and also offers comprehensive tracks for Google Cloud, Android and Web, giving every developer and builder actionable tools to deploy real-world solutions.

Powered by Local Communities, Accessible to All

DevFest is uniquely built by the community, for the community. Hosted in local languages by grassroots organizers, each event is tailored to its regional ecosystem and features a diverse lineup of speakers, including Google Developer Experts (GDEs), Google engineers, and local innovators.

At its heart, DevFest is about community-driven problem-solving. These gatherings showcase that when developers connect, the impact extends far beyond the conference walls.

  • Real-Time Accessibility in Ireland: When two deaf attendees faced an interpreter shortage, local GDG organizers built a real-time transcription tool using Google technologies within two weeks—ensuring everyone could fully participate.
  • Catalyzing Regional Innovation in Tashkent: Over 5,000 participants—ranging from university students to national digital leaders—gathered to launch collaborative projects and accelerate regional tech growth.
