Agenda

2:00 PM	Speaker Atuoha Anthony: Building at Scale using Firebase and Firebase Studio	This session explores how Firebase and Firebase Studio can be used to build and scale mobile applications efficiently, covering both backend strength and visual development. It begins with Firebase, highlighting its core services such as Firestore, Authentication, Cloud Functions, Cloud Storage, and Messaging, and explaining how its serverless architecture and flexible billing model support everything from small prototypes to full-scale production apps. Attendees will learn how Firebase enables rapid development without the burden of infrastructure management, while still offering the reliability and performance required for modern mobile apps. The session then shifts to Firebase Studio and Builder.io, showcasing how teams can visually build applications, connect to Firebase services, and even bring designs to life directly from Figma. By combining these tools, teams can move faster, collaborate more effectively, and deliver high-quality apps that scale. Whether you're building from code, from design, or a mix of both, this session will provide practical insights and real-world patterns for using Firebase and Firebase Studio to build applications that are flexible, cost-efficient, and production-ready.
3:00 PM	Speaker Orasta (MIRORA) Mirdadoeva: Getting Started with Vertex AI & Gen AI.	A Comprehensive Guide from Beginner to Advanced.
3:30 PM	Speaker Prachi Kedar: 'Mind Games: Hacking and Hardening LLMs'	The session will first explore common attack vectors and "mind games" used to hack and manipulate LLMs (e.g., prompt injection, data poisoning). The talk then pivots to the critical defenses and introduces a comprehensive security strategy. You'll learn how to implement red, blue, and purple teaming principles to build a proactive and resilient security posture for your AI applications. We'll explain how red teams actively find vulnerabilities, how blue teams build robust defenses, and how the purple team collaboration creates a continuous feedback loop for improvement.
4:00 PM	Speaker Sijohn Mathew: Agentic AI: Build an AI-Powered Receipt Processing Agent with ADK on Cloud Run & Gemini in Vertex AI	This session guides you through building a sophisticated, multi-agent system to automate receipt processing using the Google Agent Development Kit (ADK). You will learn to orchestrate specialized AI agents powered by Gemini to perform multimodal data extraction from receipt images, classify expenses, and log the structured data into BigQuery. This hands-on experience will teach you the fundamentals of creating modular, tool-augmented AI workflows for real-world automation Audience levels Beginner, Intermediate
5:00 PM	Speaker Joseph Taukek: Flutter App Deployment to Both Playstore and Appstore	Tips and guide on how to get your apps approved faster when deploying your mobile applications to production.
5:30 PM	Speaker Festus Olusegun: Build AI-Powered Flutter Apps That Work Without Internet, Cloud, or Costs	In regions where internet access is limited, cloud services are costly, and privacy is a growing concern, building AI-powered apps that run fully offline is more important than ever. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to integrate lightweight, open-source AI models into your Flutter apps—without relying on the cloud, subscriptions, or persistent connectivity. We’ll explore on-device AI using the latest innovations like Gemma 3n, and walk through building a simple, private, and responsive AI assistant that runs entirely on your device. You’ll learn about model selection, quantization, integrating inference engines like MLC-LLM, and designing user experiences optimized for low-resource environments. By the end of this session, you’ll walk away with practical knowledge and a working prototype—empowering you to build smarter apps for users, no internet required.
6:30 PM	Speaker Ida Delphine: Building truly ‘serverless’ AI apps with Firebase AI Logic	Want to add powerful generative AI features to your mobile or web app? Traditionally, this meant spinning up and managing a separate backend server. You needed a place to securely store your API keys, write boilerplate code to handle API calls, and worry about scaling. Not anymore. This workshop explores a new, serverless-first architecture using Firebase AI Logic. We'll dive into how you can use the official Vertex AI for Firebase SDKs to call the Gemini API directly from your client-side code (Flutter, Web, Swift, or Kotlin). This is a practical, code-first guide to building a "zero-backend" AI application, letting you go from idea to-production-ready AI feature faster than ever.
7:30 PM	Speaker Anna Muzykina: Journey into the world of Gemma	In this session, we will take a journey into the world of Gemma, starting with a foundational understanding of Large Language Models (LLMs). We'll then clarify the distinction between Google's family of models—Gemini and Gemma—and what makes the open-model approach so powerful. Next, we'll dive into the core of Gemma's development, highlighting Google's commitment to building with responsible AI principles at every stage. We'll also provide a brief overview of Gemma's release timeline, from its initial launch in early 2024 to the latest advancements. Finally, we'll give you a hands-on look at the tools you can use to start building with Gemma today. You'll discover how Google AI Studio provides the fastest path for prototyping and experimenting, and how Kaggle, Google’s hub for data scientists and machine learning practitioners, serves as a vibrant community and resource for all things Gemma.
