DevFest is a global developer conference hosted by Google Developer Groups (GDGs) worldwide. These community-organised events focus on learning, building, and connecting with fellow developers and tech practitioners.

Join us for an exciting keynote on 'The Amazing Power of Open Models', presented by Oscar Wahltinez, Google's Senior Developer Program Engineer.

Over 10 years of industry experience, including leading engineering teams at Google and deploying software to billions of users as part of Windows and Android. Oscar is experienced in technical outreach and partnerships, responsible AI development, and foundation models as part of the Responsible AI team at Google.

Followed by Maksim Lin, Founder @ Manichord, Google Developer Expert in Flutter, presenting on 'Building Companion Apps in Flutter'.

Companion apps are a category of mobile, desktop and web apps that are intended to work with a specific hardware device either as an adjunct or even as the primary user interface for the hardware device. These devices and apps cover everything from graphic design to consumer and professional audio. In this talk I will show you what makes companion apps different to other apps and then dive into the my latest project of building a companion app for a open source hardware audio sequencer/sampler device with Flutter.

The event will be catered with the opportunity to win Google swag!
