Devfest...!!
What is devfest? What is the first thing that clicks in your mind when you hear this? Well when I was unknown about it I thought it's any cultural fest that is organised by GDG but when I entered into the world of tech and developer I realised devfest is not just only about bringing culture but it is also about bringing tech community and developer together to celebrate and learn more about the recent trends in technology and to discuss different aspects of tech in various fields.
Throwback to the day when I Just got back from DevFest 2024 by GDG Prayagraj — and wow, what an experience!
The fest started around 10am. We got our ID cards and GDG wrist sticker band. This was a feeling of getting into a concert which more hyped the excitement me and my friend as an attendees. We entered the Auditorium after getting official passes from counter where the gdg core team perfectly managed to response each registration. The session started with keynote of GDG organiser Ankit Kumar Verma Sir. And went on with different speakers in row.
From learning about the future of Generative AI to seeing AI-powered mobile apps built in Flutter - Every session had something fresh to offer. The speakers? Phenomenal. People like Nishant Welpulwar, Dhrumil Shah, and Praveen Das sparked endless ideas and inspired new ways to look at technology.
Leave it to DevFest to turn ‘Ctrl + Alt + Del’ days into ‘Ctrl + Fun + Code’ moments!
A few highlights:
Trust and Safety: Insights from Google’s Vivek Kumar on building secure, inclusive spaces.
Serverless AI: Anubhav Singh’s deep dive into Cloud Run and GPU was next-level.
Open Source Innovations: How Praveen Das uses tech at Wikimedia to drive collaboration.
IDX and Community: Ankit Kumar Verma 's keynote on responsible AI and community-building.
This was my very first time when I was attending Devfest. I was very much excited to meet industry experts and to know their valuable insights. For me Devfest is much more than opportunities because it is the complete blend of learning, innovation, collaboration, network and technology. It was privilege to be there at Devfest 2024.
If all conferences were like DevFest, I’d be attending more ‘tech talks’ than family dinners! Big thanks for making code cool !
This the the whole expression and experience that I can quote through my this statement.
As the end approached,the atmosphere grew even more intense and exiting. Attendees had lot of fun and food . And I must mention this GDG's hospitality was outstanding and foods were really delicious. They took care of our needs like food and hygine. The Devfest speakers were really fabulous and best in their respective fields but I personally enjoyed the session of Dhrumil Shah , the way he was interacting with audience was really great and fantastic.
After all the sessions, the moment we were all eagerly waiting for finally arrived—GDG Swags! Our goodies included a diary, eco-friendly pen, GDG & TFUG stickers, and a carry bag. We clicked countless photographs and created unforgettable memories filled with fun and learning.
Grateful to the GDG Prayagraj and team for making it all happen! Connecting with fellow tech enthusiasts and creators was priceless. Already looking forward to putting these insights to use—and staying engaged with this amazing community.
