Google's DevFest Returns: 800 Volunteer-Run Events Push Its AI Stack
The season runs October 1 to December 31 in 115 countries, funneling near a million developers into Gemini and Firebase workshops.
- Google Developer Groups, not Google itself, organize each of the 800-plus local events.
- The theme, 'Build, Secure, Scale,' frames every stop around Gemini, Antigravity and Google Cloud tools.
- Registration and local listings run through Google's own developers.google.com/community/devfest directory, tagged #DevFest.
Why it matters: Called community-led, the season is unpaid labor teaching people to build on Google's own tools.
