Join us for the GDG Skopje DevFest Kickoff. DevFest Skopje is GDG Skopje’s flagship community conference. It’s a full day of talks, demos and hands-on sessions on the latest in Google technologies and AI, with developers, engineers, students and tech enthusiasts from the region.
This year’s focus is AI agents. We’re bringing speakers from across Europe to show how agents are actually built and run in production, not just how they look in a demo. Expect sessions on agent frameworks and protocols, multi-agent systems, evaluation and observability, security, and AI-assisted development with Google tools.
What to expect
Practical talks and live demos from experienced engineers and Google Developer Experts
Real-world lessons on taking agents from prototype to production
Networking with the local and regional tech community
A day to learn, ask questions and meet people building similar things
Who it’s for: developers, DevOps and ML engineers, architects, students, and anyone curious about building with AI.
Join us in Skopje and be part of the biggest developer gathering of the year! 🚀
