GDG DevFest Ahmedabad is returning for its 12th season on 5th December 2026 at the Shree Shakti Convention Centre in Ahmedabad.
Often described by attendees as the “Google I/O of Ahmedabad,” GDG DevFest Ahmedabad is built around one simple idea: creating a space where developers, technology professionals, builders, innovators, and the wider tech ecosystem can learn, connect, and share experiences in an atmosphere that feels energetic, practical, and genuinely community-driven.
And this year, we’re looking at DevFest a little differently.
Technology is changing. So are developers.
The last few years have transformed the way we build software.
AI is changing development workflows. New tools are changing how products are built. Teams are evolving. Roles are changing. And developers are being asked to adapt to technologies that didn’t exist continuously—or weren’t mainstream—just a few years ago.
At the same time, the industry is going through a difficult transition.
Layoffs, changing hiring expectations, AI-assisted development, and rapidly evolving technology stacks have left many developers asking important questions:
What should I learn next?
Which skills will continue to matter?
How do I stay relevant in an AI-first industry?
What opportunities are emerging for developers?
How do I move from simply using new tools to actually building with them?
GDG DevFest Ahmedabad 2026 is being shaped around these questions.
More than another technology conference
GDG DevFest Ahmedabad has always been about learning from people who are building, experimenting, and solving real problems.
For 2026, we’re taking that further.
We’re introducing new tracks, experiences, and initiatives designed specifically around the realities developers are facing today—from navigating the shift towards AI to discovering new opportunities, strengthening practical skills, and understanding where the industry is heading.
Expect a mix of:
- Practical technical sessions
- Hands-on learning and workshops
- New technology tracks
- Career-focused experiences
- Developer-to-developer knowledge sharing
- Opportunities to meet builders and technology professionals
- Conversations around AI, Cloud, Web, Mobile, and emerging technologies
- New experiences designed to help developers navigate a rapidly changing industry
More details about the tracks and new experiences will be announced soon.
Why should you attend GDG DevFest Ahmedabad 2026?
Learn what is actually being used
Technology moves fast. DevFest allows you to learn directly from developers, engineers, experts, and practitioners who are working with these technologies.
Go beyond tutorials and explore how modern technologies are being used to build real products and solve real problems.
Understand where the industry is heading
The developer ecosystem is changing rapidly.
GDG DevFest 2026 will create space for conversations around AI, developer productivity, cloud technologies, modern software development, emerging roles, and the future of engineering.
Because knowing what is happening is only half the battle. Knowing what to do next matters more.
Build skills that go beyond your current job
Whether you’re a student, early-career developer, experienced engineer, tech leader, freelancer, founder, or simply someone curious about technology, DevFest is an opportunity to discover ideas and skills that can influence what you build next.
Meet the people behind the technology
Some of the best learning happens outside the session room.
Connect with developers, speakers, founders, engineers, technology enthusiasts, and fellow builders from Ahmedabad and beyond.
Find someone working on something interesting. Share what you’re building. Exchange ideas. Find your next collaborator.
Discover opportunities
The technology industry isn’t only changing its tools.
It’s changing the opportunities available to people who know how to use them.
Through new experiences planned for GDG DevFest Ahmedabad 2026, we’re creating more opportunities to explore careers, collaboration, entrepreneurship, learning, and the evolving developer ecosystem.
A conference built for the developer ecosystem
DevFest is part of the global Google Developer Groups ecosystem, but every DevFest is shaped by its local community and the needs of its developers.
For Ahmedabad, that means creating a conference that reflects our developers, our questions, our challenges, and our ambitions.
We don’t want to spend the entire day talking to developers.
We want to create a place where developers can learn from each other, challenge ideas, discover what’s next, and leave with something useful.
That is what we’re building for 2026.
