DevFest is an annual, community-driven festival bringing together software developers, designers, open-source contributors, product managers, and tech enthusiasts. We hold a simple, shared belief: when builders gather, amazing things happen.

As technology shifts from static code to autonomous, goal-driven AI agents, the role of developers and builders is evolving rapidly. We are looking for speakers, workshops, and thought leaders ready to inspire and share insights across beginner to advanced levels.


Themes & Tracks We’re Looking For:

AI & Agentic Systems: Machine Learning, LLMs, AI agents, context protocols, tool use, and human-in-the-loop workflows.

Engineering & Web: Web dev, Mobile Apps, Open-Source, Web3, and best software engineering practices.

Design & Experience: UI/UX, CSS, Accessibility, and building intuitive agentic interfaces.

Product & Impact: Product/Project Management, Tech for Social Impact, and Career Transitioning in the AI era.


If you are passionate about shaping the future of tech, sharing your expertise, and inspiring the next wave of builders, we want to hear from you!
