I am interested in this dev fest event . It will be a great event as it was. I want to join this event.

One suggestion is that. Try to organise the event in weekends like Saturday and Sunday . So that you will expect good audience. If not possible , then fine.

Also , i want to like to join this event as i never joined such event before,

See you all there.

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m curious to hear how you managed to get your pass for the upcoming DevFest.

For those who have attended DevFest or other GDG events before, what worked for you? Are there any tips you’d give to someone attending for the first time?

For example:

- Did registering early make a difference?

- Does being active in the GDG community help?

- Are volunteering, contributing, or attending previous events useful?

- Are there any registration updates or channels we should keep an eye on?

- And if getting a pass is difficult, are there other ways to participate or connect with the DevFest community?

Would love to hear your experiences and tips. It could really help newcomers like me!

I am interested in attending the event

I too agree on keeping the event on saturday or sunday as most students also can attend the event.

Just a request : Kindly notify us when you start providing passes, we get the notification of the event after pass distribution is over and because of that most of us cannot attend the event.

I also agree with the event organizing on weekends and to get the notification when the passes get started to issuing so that all interested students can attend.
