DevFest Singapore is a one-day, community-driven conference that gathers technologists, developers, students, tech companies, and speakers in a single space to explore, discuss, and experiment with the latest in technology.
This year, we're excited to enhance your conference experience by introducing two distinct tracks for the first time: the Workshop and the Gemini Conference.
Workshop: Designed to provide hands-on learning and skill development.
Gemini Conference: Featuring insightful presentations and discussions from industry experts.
ONLY LIGHT REFRESHMENTS WILL BE PROVIDED.
We've carefully curated a smaller number of sessions for each track to ensure a high-quality and focused experience for attendees. We want to avoid overwhelming you with too many choices and instead provide ample opportunity to fully engage with the content and connect with fellow participants.
Looking to make a lasting impact on Singapore's tech community? Consider sponsoring DevFest Singapore 2024! Reach out to us at info@gdg-singapore.org for more details.

Agenda

6:00 AM	Registration
6:00 AM	Welcome Address
6:10 AM	Opening Keynote
6:20 AM	DevSpace: Idea to Impact, AI for Every Developer (Vertex AI)
6:20 AM	Himalaya: Leverage and Manage Generative AI LLM Model Capabilities with Firebase Genkit	Pradana is a person who really passionate about people and technology from technical side and from community side, In his free time, Pradana likes to research technologies and write extensively on various technical topics such as AI/ML and AR/VR to help others learn. Combining an appetite for success and a passion for communities, Pradana has won multiple international hackathons as well as spoken at various tech events.
6:50 AM	DevSpace: The Next Generation of Data Architecture: AI Lakehouse	Discover how to break down data silos and unlock hidden value within your organization! In this session, we'll discuss how an AI Lakehouse on Google Cloud Platform leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to process both qualitative and quantitative data, delivering deeper insights than ever before.
6:50 AM	Himalaya: Defence Against the Dark Arts (LLM Edition)	Integrating AI features into applications has never been easier - building a proof of concept can now be accomplished in days or even hours. But as development accelerates, so does the need for strong, reliable guardrails to ensure these systems behave as expected. In this session, we'll explore why your LLM applications need guardrails. We'll also provide actionable tips on how to: get started, measure the guardrail's performance, and develop your own custom guardrails.
7:20 AM	DevSpace: Build Your Own Search Experience in Google Cloud, with Vertex AI Studio and Vertex AI Agent Builder	Application developers looking to enhance their projects with AI-powered search can leverage Vertex AI in two ways. Vertex AI Agent Builder offers both low/no-code options and a highly customizable approach using the Reasoning Engine for a logical search experience. Alternatively, Vertex AI Studio allows developers to create a backend solution with the Vertex AI SDK, interacting with Gemini and utilizing function calling to retrieve precise search results.
7:20 AM	Himalaya: Building Code Executor on Kubernetes	This session guides you through building a code assessment platform, with a special emphasis on the sandbox environment for executing submitted code. We'll use Docker to build this environment and explore vital security configurations. Additionally, we'll cover Kubernetes configuration best practices to ensure your platform is secure and scalable.
7:50 AM	Break
8:10 AM	DevSpace: From Prototype to Production: Streamlining MLOps with Vertex AI	This talk covers the end-to-end MLOps workflow, including feature engineering, experimentation, continuous training, CI/CD, testing, model registration, deployment, and monitoring. We will explore how organizations can establish core technical capabilities, either through an integrated ML platform or a combination of specialized tools. Focusing on Vertex AI, we’ll walk through a real project to demonstrate how the platform streamlines these processes, simplifying the entire ML lifecycle. Learn how to deploy models effectively and optimize MLOps from prototype to production with Vertex AI.
8:10 AM	Himalaya: From Android to Everywhere: Jetpack Compose in a Multi-platform World	Unlock the full potential of Jetpack Compose by extending your Android development expertise to multiple platforms with Kotlin Multiplatform. In this session, we’ll explore how to create stunning, native UIs while efficiently sharing business logic across Android, iOS, and beyond. By the end of the talk, you'll get hands-on experience with a realistic demo project, showcasing practical techniques to build cross-platform apps seamlessly.
8:40 AM	DevSpace: What's New in On-Device Generative AI	In this session, we will explore the latest advancements in on-device generative AI, covering technologies like the Gemma 2 model and Google's AI Edge SDK. We will demonstrate how to transition from cloud-based generative AI models to on-device implementations, offering the potential for faster performance, enhanced privacy, and reduced costs — without relying on cloud infrastructure.
8:40 AM	Himalaya: From Fast to Instant Loading on the Web	The web has been optimized for many years using various techniques and approaches to achieve fast loading speeds. But what if we could now transition from fast to near-instant loading of web pages? With the new Speculation Rules API, we can accelerate page loads on websites using easy-to-use APIs. Together we will also gain insights to drive user and business impact, illustrated through case studies with well-known partners.
9:10 AM	DevSpace: Panel Discussion: Women in AI	Join a dynamic panel of four women shaping the future of AI across Google, innovative startups, and large enterprises. Hear their insights on preparing for AI, overcoming startup challenges, and identifying key initiatives for AI-driven innovation in an engaging discussion on breaking barriers in tech.
9:10 AM	Himalaya: Career Talk: Growing Beyond the Frame of a “Senior Engineer”, with the Help of the Engineering Manifesto!
9:40 AM	Closing Remarks & Swag Giveaway
