We’re excited to announce DevFest Pune 2024 conference! This is a community-run, in-person conference aimed to bring technologists, developers, students, tech companies, and speakers together in one location to learn, discuss and experiment with technology.

DevFests are local tech conferences hosted by Google Developer Groups (GDG) around the world to network and learn about the coolest new technology out there. Learn more about devfest.

Note:

If you've previously delivered a talk at DevFest Pune, we kindly request you to recommend someone from your network who is equally talented to speak at this year's Devfest. This will allow us to offer opportunities to new speakers while bringing a broader range of perspectives and ideas to the Devfest.


**Travel & Accomodation Expenses**


DevFest Pune is a community-driven and volunteer-supported event. Unfortunately, we are unable to support travel/accommodation for speakers.

So if your employer can cover your travel and/or accommodation, it will help us substantially. We will be happy to mention the company as a supporter on the website.
