About this event

DevFest is the world's largest community-driven tech conference, bringing together passionate developers from around the globe. The DevFest Budapest Developer Conference offers a unique opportunity to explore developer tools, learn from young researchers, local, and international industry experts, and connect with fellow developers.

🚀 Go All-In on AI: From Agents to Production
This year, DevFest Budapest is moving beyond the hype and diving deep into the practical future of software: Artificial Intelligence. Our 2025 conference is hyper-focused on the technologies that are actively reshaping development.

We are bringing together Google Developer Experts, industry leaders, and academic pioneers to share hands-on, practical knowledge. Get ready for a day packed with deep dives on:
Building AI Agents: Go from zero to a functioning agent. We'll explore multiple agentic frameworks, including Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK), and even build one live on stage.
GenAI on Google Cloud: Master the full stack, from deploying open-source Gemma models on Cloud Run to architecting complex, serverless multi-agent systems with Vertex AI.
AI in Practice: See how Gemini is revolutionizing DevOps, how LLMs are solving real-world business challenges, and how AI is powering new frontiers in bioinformatics.
Whether you're a student eager to deploy your first GenAI app or a professional developer architecting the next wave of intelligent systems, you'll leave with the practical skills and expert connections to build what's next.

The DevFest Budapest Developer Conference is organized as a collaboration of Department of Automation and Applied Informatics of Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), GDG Budapest, GDG on Campus ELTE, GDG on Campus BME, and Zenitech.

The DevFest Budapest Developer Conference will be hosted at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), in BME Building "I".

Agenda

1:00 PM	ARRIVAL, REGISTRATION
1:30 PM	Conference opening	Welcome speech
1:40 PM	Navigating Agentic Frameworks: Practical guidance for developers - Máté Sal (BlackRock)	Agentic AI frameworks are transforming how we build intelligent systems by enabling LLMs to plan, act, and collaborate autonomously. In this talk, we’ll compare five leading frameworks—LangGraph, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents SDK, Google ADK, and AutoGen—exploring their mental models, strengths, trade‑offs, and real‑world use cases. You’ll leave with a clear decision framework and practical insights to help you choose the right tool for your next project.
2:10 PM	The 30-Minute Agent: A Hands-On Live Build - Gábor Volczér (Aliz)	Everyone's talking about AI agents, but how fast can you actually build one? In this fast-paced, 30-minute live-coding session, we're skipping the slides and building a functional AI agent from scratch. You'll see the Gemini CLI, combined with Google's Agent Starter Pack for rapid bootstrapping, and the Agent Development Kit (ADK) in action. By the end, our agent will be live, deployed on an "Agent Engine." Get ready, it's going to be fast.
3:00 PM	Agents to Zero: Experiments with Serverless Multi-Agent Architectures on Google Cloud - Akshata Mohanty (Google Developer Expert)	Anyone can build an agent, but building the right agent is still a challenge. Prototyping speed, deployment, and unit economics are critical. Using a real-world demo, this talk progressively walks through the lifecycle of an AI product: from leveraging Vertex AI to deploy a simple inference-as-a-service model server to building a complex multi-agent serverless architecture using ephemeral, containerized, stateless agents on Cloud Run. The talk will briefly cover concepts such as host-remote agent patterns with ADK, agent communication protocols, stateless memory management and handling known serverless bottlenecks such as cold starts, latency and concurrency. Attendees will see how agents instantiate, collaborate, and scale to zero, uncovering practical insights into building elastic, cost-efficient, event-driven AI systems in the cloud.
3:30 PM	Latest advancements in intelligent data processing and AI technologies - Gergely Major (Zenitech)	This talk explores the latest trends and advancements in intelligent data processing and AI technologies, with a special nod to how these innovations are reshaping modern production management. We’ll take a broad look at how data, automation, and smart solutions are changing the way we make decisions and optimize complex systems. From predictive analytics to AI-driven process control and LLMs, the goal is to spark ideas and discussion rather than dive too deep into any single topic. It’s an open, forward-looking session for anyone curious about where intelligent technologies are heading next. The talk presents results created in the projects named "AI-assisted production management / Mesterséges intelligenciával támogatott termelésirányítás, code: 2019-1.1.1-PIACI-KFI-2019-00263
4:20 PM	Predicting Customer Intents - Szabolcs Domján (Deutsche Telekom)	Many of us have experienced how difficult it can be to navigate through the maze of options to reach the right support group. Customer Intent Prediction enables us to know the reason for a customer’s contact before they say a word. By using LLM-based models, we turn static dialog into a personalised conversation, offering customised recommendations from the start to reduce time to resolution and improve first call resolution rates. Join us to see how the Google Cloud stack is changing the way we interact with our customers.
4:50 PM	How AI is Reshaping Software Delivery Inside Remote Engineering Teams - Adam Drobinoha (Adroit Group)	This talk explores how AI is transforming the way remote software development teams work and what clients now truly value from engineering partners. Instead of simply delivering hours of coding, teams are shifting toward solving problems, shaping products, and making smarter architectural decisions. We’ll look at what has changed inside day-to-day development work, how expectations are evolving, and what organizations can do to stay competitive. The goal is to show a practical and realistic path forward, not hype.
5:50 PM	From Pixels to Crops: Building Practical AI for Agriculture - Elene Samsiani (ELTE)	AI in agriculture isn’t just a concept, it’s something we’ve tested, built, and improved in real conditions. In this session, I’ll share hands-on lessons from developing an AI system that uses computer vision and drone-based data collection to identify agricultural pests and support crop management. Our team gathered practical experience by visiting fields, capturing and labeling images, and learning how unpredictable natural environments can challenge even the most advanced models. I’ll discuss how we trained and optimized CNNs for agricultural image classification, integrated drone imagery, and explored ways to combine these insights with large language models (LLMs) for clearer, more accessible pest management guidance. The project was recognized at a national innovation competition in Georgia, reflecting the value of building AI that works not just in theory but in the field. Attendees will gain a realistic view of how to bring AI from lab to land, blending computer vision, LLMs, and hands-on testing to create responsible, sustainable, and practical technology for agriculture.
6:20 PM	Comics with Nano Banana - Bálint Décsi, Abdulazizbek Gainazarov (AI Storybook)	A practical architecture for building web apps on Firebase and staying in Google Cloud ecosystem using serverless solutions with containers, Functions, Storage and Firestore. This is our way of multimodal comics generation using Nano Banana, avoiding text quality deterioration and keeping consistency throughout panels.
