DevFest Jalandhar 2025 is a flagship local tech conference hosted by Google Developer Groups Jalandhar, organized with the mission to bring world-class technology, innovation, and learning opportunities closer to the local developer community of Punjab and Northern India.

The Vision Behind DevFest Jalandhar

DevFests, short for Developer Festivals, are global community-led events organized by Google Developer Groups around the world. These events celebrate developers and technology enthusiasts by providing a platform to learn, share, and connect.

At DevFest Jalandhar, we take that global vision and blend it with our own local flavor, celebrating the incredible talent emerging from Punjab’s universities, startups, and developer circles. The event is entirely crafted by local GDG Jalandhar organizers and volunteers, ensuring that every session, activity, and networking moment reflects the unique needs and interests of our regional tech ecosystem.

Technology today is evolving faster than ever, and AI has become a part of almost every developer’s workflow, from code completion to problem-solving. But with great power comes great responsibility.

This year’s DevFest Jalandhar is built around one core mission: helping developers adopt AI fearlessly, responsibly, and effectively.

We aim to empower our community to not just use AI, but to understand it, to build secure, ethical, and scalable solutions that can thrive in the era of intelligent software.
