Share your #DevFest18 story!

In 2018, the global DevFest initiative aimed to connect 100,000 developers across 500 events in over 80 countries, fostering learning and collaboration within the Google Developer Groups (GDGs) community. Notable events included DevFest Nairobi, which became Kenya's largest developer festival with over 1,200 participants from 26 African countries and a significant female presence, and DevFest Tokyo, which engaged over 1,000 developers through sessions and codelabs in partnership with various tech communities. The DevFest events encourage developers to share their experiences using #DevFestStories and #DevFest18 on social media, with the potential for stories to be featured on the Google Developers blog. GDGs provide platforms for developers interested in Google products to engage in diverse technical activities, from small meetups to large-scale hackathons, promoting continuous learning and innovation.
