The future of technology is being built now. Let’s build it together.
Join GDG Ottawa for DevFest 2026, a community-driven technology event bringing together developers, AI enthusiasts, students, and tech professionals to explore what’s next in software development.
Inspired by this year’s global theme, Build, Secure, Scale: Developers and Builders in the Agentic Era, DevFest Ottawa is an opportunity to discover emerging technologies, learn practical skills, exchange ideas, and connect with Ottawa’s vibrant tech community.
From generative AI and AI agents to cloud technologies and modern application development, explore how Google’s developer ecosystem is shaping the way we build, secure, and scale the next generation of applications.
What to expect:
Whether you’re an experienced engineer, an aspiring developer, a student, or simply curious about the future of technology, DevFest Ottawa welcomes you.
Come curious. Leave inspired. Let’s build, secure, and scale the future together.
DevFest is Google Developer Groups' flagship annual community event, and GDG Ottawa is bringing it to the University of Ottawa. Expect 200 developers, designers, product people, and curious newcomers who want to learn by building.
🧪 Start with the Google-recommended codelabs
Our most preferred sessions are hands-on workshops based on these codelabs. If you like teaching, lead one as a live code-along. Have something strong that isn't on the list? We welcome proposals beyond it too.
🎟️ GEAR credits
Workshops can be built on Gemini Enterprise Agent Ready (GEAR) labs, which attendees complete on site using GEAR credits.
This year has two tracks. The Builder track is for people who build with AI assistance but aren't traditional developers, including designers, PMs, and marketers. The Developer track goes deep on building, deploying, and scaling AI agents.
