Build, Secure,Scale.

Developers and Builders in the Agentic Era

What to expect

DevFest Sydney is GDG Sydney's flagship annual conference, presented by Google. Each year it brings together engineers, designers, product managers, and founders for a full day of talks, workshops, and hands-on building.

This year, we look at a real shift underway: the professional developer's role is moving from writing code to reviewing it. We're bringing together the people building, securing, and scaling products for that new reality.
