DevFest Kampala 2026 is here! Bigger and Better!

Happening at the International University of East Africa on the 31st of October 2026 from 8:00 AM.

This year we reflect on some major shifts in the developer landscape. The role of professional developers is evolving from writing to reviewing code and orchestrating autonomous agents. You can do more, faster, with models and tools that are getting more and more powerful. At the same time, AI is opening the doors for everyone to be a solution builder. It means more people can solve more problems, bringing more diverse ideas to life than ever before.

"Builders" use their skills and AI assistance to build apps, automate, optimize workflows and create solutions for any industry. They use developer tools but can work in different roles including product management or design. Gartner predicts that 80% of technology products and services will soon be built by people who are not professional software developers.

In this world, a secure-by-default mindset is more important than ever. So is choosing the right models, platform and tools that match your needs and goals.

We bring high-quality technical content directly to over 1000 local developer communities, expanding our reach to both seasoned professionals and new learners alike.
