Call for Speakers & Workshop Leaders 🌟


DevFest is back in the capital! 🎉 On Sunday, November 2, 2025, GDG Ottawa will host our biggest developer event of the year at the University of Ottawa.


This year, our theme is the practical integration of AI and Google Cloud, exploring how to build solutions that are innovative, scalable, secure, and ethically sound. To make that vision real, we’re inviting speakers, practitioners, and community leaders to share their insights, experiences, and ideas with our community.


Beyond talks and panels, we’re especially excited to offer hands-on workshops. If you’re passionate about teaching and want to help participants “Build with AI,” we’d love for you to lead an interactive, code-along session where attendees can learn by doing.
