About this event

🚀 DevFest 2026: Build, Secure & Scale in the Agentic Era

The Era of the Builder

The technology landscape is undergoing a massive shift. You no longer need to be a traditional software engineer to bring brilliant ideas to life. Today, developers are evolving to orchestrate intelligent AI agents, while product managers, designers, and startup founders are using AI assistance to build apps, automate workflows, and create scalable solutions faster than ever before.

Join GDG Faro for an unforgettable two-day conference exploring how to build responsibly and innovatively. We’ll be diving deep into Google Gemini (an advanced AI model that acts as a smart assistant to help you write code, analyze data, and automate tasks) and Google Cloud (the secure, enterprise-grade infrastructure that allows your apps to run smoothly and safely across the globe).

🌟 Who Should Attend?

The GDG Faro community is a safe, inclusive, and welcoming space for learning and collaboration. There is a seat at the table for everyone:

  • The Tech-Curious & Future Builders: Students, designers, and career-changers wanting to understand how AI and modern software actually work in the real world.

  • Startup Founders & Product Managers: Entrepreneurs looking to rapidly prototype, validate ideas, and leverage AI for business growth without needing a massive engineering team.

  • Seasoned Developers & Tech Leads: Deep-tech professionals looking to level up from writing syntax to orchestrating autonomous agents and building secure-by-default cloud architectures.
