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.
