GDG DevFest 2026

​DevFest season is here!

​DevFest is the world's largest community-driven tech conference. Google Developer Groups run it independently in 500+ cities across 115+ countries every year. GDG UAE is bringing it to Dubai for a full day of the latest Google technologies, industry trends, hands-on workshops, and networking.

​Who is it for?
Whether you're writing low-level system architecture, building your first AI-powered app, or just curious about where technology is heading, DevFest is for you.

• ​Professional Developers: Level up your engineering workflow for the agentic era, and learn to build safe, secure, scalable applications on the Google stack.

• ​AI Builders: You don't need to be a developer. Learn to optimise, augment, and automate your work with AI, from vibe coding your first app to getting it ready to scale.

• ​Tech Enthusiasts: See past the AI hype with live Gemini demos, try things yourself at workshops, and meet peers in the community.

​What to expect

• ​🎤 Technical content: talks from Google Developer Experts, and community speakers within AI

• ​🛠️ Hands-on learning: workshops, coding sessions, Q&A, and project showcases

• ​🤝 Community connections: meet developers, founders, and builders from across the UAE
