Google DevFests are local tech conferences hosted by Google Developer Groups (GDG) around the world. Each DevFest event is crafted by its local organizers to fit the needs and interests of its local developer community. Whether it be through hands-on learning experiences, technical talks delivered in local languages by experts, or by simply meeting fellow local developers, DevFest attendees learn how to build together and innovate on Google's developer tools.

This year, DevFest at GDG Glasgow will feature leading experts on Google technologies in areas like Android, Firebase, Flutter, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Cloud and so much more!

Join us for tech talks, deep dives, workshops, hands-on experiences, and hacking & debugging events, all centered on your favorite Google technologies.
