Agenda

10:00 AM	Coffee & Check-in
11:00 AM	Keynote	Nawal Alhamwi will introduce us to this year's DevFest.
11:20 AM	Crafting AI-Driven Games with Gemini and Flutter	Tarek Alabd will guide you through the process of crafting a game that not only looks and feels engaging but is also powered by cutting-edge AI. Learn how to seamlessly integrate Gemini to create smarter, more responsive game environments, all while maintaining a consistent development experience with Dart across the entire stack. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just starting in game development, this session will provide you with the tools and knowledge to elevate your projects. Join us and take your first steps toward building the next generation of AI-powered games with Flutter, Flame, and Gemini!"
12:00 PM	From Unreliable to Unstoppable: Building Production-Ready Data Agents with ADK	AI agents promise to revolutionize how we interact with data, but initial prototypes often fail, producing inaccurate SQL and unreliable answers. In this session, Sathyaram Sannasi provides a practical guide to overcoming these challenges by building and optimizing robust Natural Language-to-SQL agents using Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK).
12:40 PM	Networking Zone + Prayer
1:25 PM	Idea to Business in Hours: The Penny Projects Method	Join Yazeed AlMarwani in his session: Idea to Business in Hours: The Penny Project Method. This session will be a practical and inspiring talk for entrepreneurs and developers who want to move quickly in times of uncertainty. When exploring new ideas, friction slows everything down because long planning cycles, technical hesitation, and unclear direction make it easy to lose momentum. This session introduces a mindset that encourages rapid prototyping using AI and tools like Firebase to reduce cost, simplify execution, and remove barriers to creativity. Attendees learn to focus on the essentials: product feel, user flow, and real market reactions without getting trapped in overthinking or overbuilding. The core message is simple. When you lower friction and build faster, you gain the freedom to explore more ideas with confidence, learn sooner, and innovate without fear.
2:05 PM	Prompt Engineering Unleashed: A Journey from Beginner to Pro	Abdul Basit's talk offers a comprehensive guide to prompt engineering, the critical skill of crafting effective instructions for large language models.
2:45 PM	Dinner	Who doesn't love pizza? If you missed networking with all of the audience, speakers, & our crew, this is your chance!
