About the festival

Not just another
tech conference. 👀

Usually, DevFest = code, tech & developers.

But this year? Scene thoda different hai. 🔥

For the first time, we’re opening the stage beyond just code — Developers. Creators. Founders. Designers.
सगळ्यांसाठी जागा आहे. 🤝

Because real-world mein sirf code se game nahi banta.

  • 01You need to build it.
  • 02You need to talk about it.
  • 03You need to turn that crazy idea into a business.
  • 04And you need to make people remember it.

So whether you’re someone who ships code, creates content, builds a startup, or makes brands look 🔥 —
हा DevFest तुमच्यासाठी आहे. ❤️‍🔥

No matter what you build. No matter what you create. Come through.

DevFest Nashik 2026 — beyond the code.

The arc of the day

An idea gets plantedCuriosity, tools and possibility — the technology that starts it all.
It growsA story told well is how an idea finds the people who care about it.
It's harvested into something realFrom side-project to venture — real users, real lessons.
It's given an identity worth rememberingDesign and branding turn a product into something people trust.

Four tracks · equal stage time

From seed to label,
in a single day.

Four tracks, each with its own stage time — not a side-track to the "main" tech talks. Follow one, or walk the whole vineyard.

Track 01 The Seed

Technology

जिथे “काय होईल?” becomes “चल, करून बघूया.”

Exploring new ideas, trying out tools, sharing what we learn, and discovering the possibilities shaping what we build next.

Track 02 The Bloom

Content Creator

Code लिहिणं ही एक गोष्ट आहे.
पण त्यामागची story सांगणं? That’s a whole different game.

This track is about turning what you build into something people see, understand, and remember.

Track 03 The Harvest

Entrepreneurship

When does an idea go from “कधीतरी करूया” to “चल, launch करूया.” 🚀

This track brings real founder stories — building the first product, finding those first few users, figuring things out as you go, and learning from all the things that didn’t go as planned.

FoundersIndie hackersAspiring entrepreneurs

Track 04 The Label

Design & Branding

From “हे छान दिसतंय” to “हे कोणाचं आहे?”

This track dives into UI/UX, visual design, and the little details that turn a product into a brand people notice, connect with, and remember.

Why these four

Take one away,
and it doesn't ship.

  1. 01 Technology builds it an idea that runs
  2. 02 Content tells its story people who care
  3. 03 Entrepreneurship turns it into a business something that lasts
  4. 04 Design gives it an identity a name they remember

These four tracks aren't random picks — they mirror what it actually takes to build a company. Cross all four in one day and you don't collect isolated skills, you walk away with a working picture of how something real gets built, end to end.

Speakers

The stage is open.

    Questions

    Before you ask.

    DevFest is an annual, community-run tech conference hosted by Google Developer Groups around the world. DevFest Nashik 2026 is GDG Nashik's sixth edition — one day, four tracks, in Nashik.

    No. This year the stage belongs equally to content creators, entrepreneurs and designers alongside developers. If you write code, create content, build startups or design brands — this is your DevFest too.

    The Seed (Technology), The Bloom (Content Creator), The Harvest (Entrepreneurship) and The Label (Design & Branding). Each gets equal stage time — none of them is a side-track to the "main" tech talks.

    Every fare includes the same full thali: access to all talks and workshops, lunch and hi-tea, DevFest swag, and a certificate of participation. What differs is the discount running on each fare — and a fare’s price is revealed the moment it opens. Whatever is showing in the Tickets section is the real, current price.

    Because the early discounts are genuinely bigger, not a marketing trick. Every fare is the same ticket; the earliest one simply takes the most off it, and each fare after that takes less. We keep a discount sealed until its fare opens, so the only offer you can act on is the one live today. The final fare, झणझणीत तर्री, drops the discount entirely and opens last — by which point the cheaper fares are usually long gone.

    Yes — the कुंभमेळा स्क्वॉड. Book 10 or more tickets together and the whole group gets 10% off in a single booking, on top of whatever fare is live. Message us on WhatsApp from the Tickets section and we’ll set it up.

    Sunday, 25 October 2026, at an indoor auditorium in Nashik. The venue is confirmed and booked — we’re holding the name back until 25 September 2026. There’s a countdown on this page, and the address, map pin and travel notes appear here the moment it hits zero.

    Nashik has spent generations turning grapes into wine — growing, harvesting, refining. DevFest Nashik 2026 borrows that same journey for its four tracks. The ticket names come from the rest of what Nashik is known for: the first harvest, the पंचवटी एक्सप्रेस, a plate of misal, and the Kumbh.

    Yes to all three. The call for speakers is open now on Sessionize — any track, any level, talks and workshops equally welcome. Partner slots are open across the Gold and Community tiers; the buttons in the Partners section open a WhatsApp chat with the team. The volunteer form is live too.
