About us

Welcome to GDG - West Sweden 🚀

👨‍💻👩‍💻 Who are we?
We are a community of curious coders, enthusiastic developers, and tech explorers 🧑‍💻👩‍💻 who love to tinker, experiment, and learn. Our mission? To create a welcoming space where tech enthusiasts, from beginners to experts, can come together and thrive. If you’re into algorithms, APIs, or anything Google-techy, this is the place to be! 😎💡
Website : https://developers.google.com/community/gdg

🌍 Location: Based in the amazing city of Gothenburg, but we are as flexible as your favorite programming language! Whether you live in the archipelagos or the landlocked plains, we’re here to code, connect, and collaborate across all corners of West Sweden!

🎉 What we do?
From coding marathons 🏃‍♂️ to cozy tech talks ☕, fun hackathons 💻, and meetups that sometimes involve pizza 🍕 (okay, most of the time!), we cover it all! Whether you’re in for serious learning or casual networking, you'll find your niche here. Expect some bad jokes about Python 🐍 and Java ☕ – no code-shaming allowed! 😜

💡 Why join us?
Because you're a tech geek at heart (just like us), and you love hanging out with other awesome geeks. Plus, it’s way more fun to debug your code when someone else is equally frustrated, right? 😆 Whether you're working on your first "Hello World" or architecting complex cloud solutions ☁️, we’ve got your back.

Our Values ❤️

  • Inclusivity: All are welcome, whether you're a JavaScript Jedi 🧙‍♂️ or just starting to learn what HTML stands for. (Hint: It’s not How To Meet Ladies!)
  • Learning Together: No question is too simple, no code too buggy. We grow by lifting each other up! 🚀
  • Innovation: We embrace the bleeding edge of technology, even if it means occasionally bleeding from our keyboards! 🔧

Oh, and GDPR Stuff! 📜
Your privacy is important to us, like, really important. We collect your email (not for sending spam, promise 🤞), and the only data we care about is the one you're coding! Our GDPR promise:

  • Your personal data is safe with us 🛡️.

  • We won’t sell your info to third parties, not even if they offer us an infinite loop of donuts 🍩.

  • If you ever want out, just let us know – we’ll delete your data faster than you can say "404."

    For more details on how we handle your data, feel free to check out Meetup's GDPR policies (because we like transparency as much as we like open-source code!).

So what are you waiting for? Hit that Join button and become part of GDG - West Sweden. Your future tech tribe awaits! 🚀✨

    GDG West Sweden May 13th event - Registration

    In this hands-on workshop, Google Developer Expert Sijohn Mathew will guide you through building your own AI-powered Executive Assistant using the Google Agent Development Kit (ADK), Gemini, and Vertex AI. The agent we are building is an executive assistant, designed to help you with daily tasks like managing your calendar, reminding you of tasks, doing research and compiling notes. You will learn how to:

    • Provision the core Google Cloud infrastructure for agentic systems
    • Use Vertex AI Memory Bank to give your agent persistent, personal context
    • Orchestrate specialized sub‑agents for research, to‑dos, and calendar workflows
    • Connect your agent to real‑world workflows using Cloud Run, databases, and APIs

    This session is aimed at developers and cloud practitioners who want to move beyond simple prompts and start building real, production‑style AI agents.

    Bring your laptop! We’ll build together, explore the architecture, and discuss how you can adapt the same patterns in your own projects.
    Location: Devies, Vallgatan 14 (floor 3), Gothenburg
    Language: English
    Recommended background: Basic familiarity with Python and Google Cloud is helpful but not strictly required.
