Ready to stop just talking about AI and start building with it?

Join GDG Faro for our flagship event of the year: Build with AI 2026! Last year, this global initiative empowered over 170,000 developers worldwide to create innovative solutions. This year, we are bringing the absolute cutting edge of Google's AI technology directly to the Algarve for a full day of inspiration and action.

Whether you are a seasoned engineer or a developer exploring Generative AI for the first time, this event is designed to help you level up your skills.

🗺️ The Agenda: How the Day Unfolds

☀️ Morning: Inspiration & Insights Kick off the day by expanding your perspective. We will host four expert talks designed to showcase the latest in AI, share real-world use cases, and give you the technical foundation you need to start building.

⚡ Afternoon: "Really Build with AI" Challenge (with Google Developer Experts!) This is where the magic happens. After lunch, we roll up our sleeves for a hands-on, rapid problem-solving session held in collaboration with invited Google Developer Experts (GDEs)! You will be presented with a specific challenge and tasked with going from a raw idea to a working, functional prototype. With direct guidance from our visiting GDEs, you will ideate quickly, collaborate, and build a tangible solution using Google’s most powerful tools.
