Over 6 consecutive editions, GDG DevFest Algiers has grown from a small 50-people event to one of the few big tech conferences in Algeria. This year, with “Diversity & Inclusion” as a main theme, DevFest 2k19 sets a goal to widen the developer community in our country by gathering tech enthusiasts of all different backgrounds and levels in one place in order for them to learn, share and compete in improving people’s daily lives with technology.
