What people said
I’ve spoken at many developer events, and Gandhinagar stood out. The hall was full, the questions were practical, and people kept the conversation going long after my session ended. You can tell this community is built by people who genuinely care.
Thank you to everyone involved! Even with such a huge crowd, everything was handled perfectly. The volunteers were so kind and caring, and the whole event was wonderfully organized.
I actually gained knowledge, especially in the starting sessions like debugging GKE with Gemini CLI and MCP!
I came for the AI and Cloud sessions and left with a notebook full of ideas I can use at work on Monday. It didn’t feel like a conference; it felt like a community.
There were too many crazy people that I would never know without attending this event. Thanks!
The event was excellently organized, and the networking opportunities were amazing. Everything from the registration process to the smooth transition between tech sessions made the day very enjoyable and productive.
Good talks on the latest tech, like tokenomics, self-healing AI and frontend design.
It was my first Google DevFest, and I got a chance to meet some of the amazing people out there.
I really loved the overall theme and vibe of the sessions. The speakers were very interactive, which made the sessions more interesting.
Speakers were good and had good meme GIFs, which grabbed attention.
To every speaker, volunteer, partner and attendee who boarded the DevFest Express: thank you. See you at the next station.
Metro Hacks.
Build it before the ride ends.
A two-hour solo hackathon on board a running Gujarat Metro train, the first of its kind in Gujarat. Every problem in the brief comes from the people who run the metro and the city’s public transport. Pick one, and have a working prototype by the time the ride ends.
- The network drops underground. Download what you need before you board.
- Offline problems are judged offline. The judges may switch on airplane mode.
- Bring your own data. None is provided.
- Two hours. One working flow beats a big idea that doesn’t run.
- Solo, no teams. Everyone builds on their own.
- Getting there. Make your own way to the station. Every woman taking part gets a drop after the ride.
