Time: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM (GMT+8)
Format: Full-day In-person Session
A comprehensive day of hands-on Codelabs, expert-led sessions, and networking with the brightest minds in the region.

For codelabs, only those who have attended the pre-event are eligible to join.
Who is this for?
The Developers: For those who live in the code. If you are comfortable with Cloud implementations and want to dive deep into complex AI integration, this is your playground. We are especially inviting local tech companies and our thriving community of remote global workers to join the conversation.
The Builders: For the visionaries, designers, educators, students, and managers. You don't need to be a programmer to be a builder. Learn how to leverage AI tools to automate your workflows, design better products, and solve real-world problems.
What to Expect
Hands-on Learning: Move beyond the hype and actually build AI-powered applications.
Expert Guidance: Learn from facilitators and speakers who are at the forefront of Google Cloud and AI technology.
Community Connection: Connect with fellow Kagay-anons who are just as passionate about the future of tech as you are.
Note on Internet
To ensure a seamless experience during our hands-on sessions, we encourage all participants to bring a personal backup internet source, such as mobile data. While we are working closely with partners to explore high-speed satellite solutions to keep our connection as fast as our ideas, having your own secured access ready will ensure you can build without any interruptions.
Note on Device
Codelabs attendees are required to bring their own laptop or device to join the session. Please bring also your own extension wires.
Refund policy
Registration for Build with AI 2026 is final and non-refundable once confirmed. Please note that all registrations are also strictly non-transferable to other participants.
