GDG Sofia is excited to announce that we are organizing the very first GDG DevFest in Bulgaria this year.

What is a DevFest?
GDG DevFests are large, community-run developer events happening around the globe, focused on community building and learning about Google technologies.
They cover multiple product areas such as Android, Firebase, Google Cloud Platform, Google Assistant, Flutter, machine learning with TensorFlow, and Mobile Web.

Each DevFest is inspired by and uniquely tailored to the needs of the developer community that hosts it. That’s why the first GDG DevFest Bulgaria will cover topics around Web, Mobile and Cloud technologies.

What to expect?
As an attendee, you can expect speaker sessions, codelabs, study jams, training sessions, workshops and more. The sessions will be led by Google Developer Experts (GDEs), Google employees and other world-renown experts.
