GDG DevFest Florida 2016

DevFest Florida is the biggest Google tech conference in Florida this year. It is all about Android and the Web, straight from the experts.

DevFest Florida 2016 is going to take place on November 5th, 2016 at the Sheraton Lake Buena Vista in Orlando. DevFest Florida is going to be focused on Android & Web technologies! It will also offer a networking mixer event for attendees to meet the speakers and to provide great networking opportunities for all professionals and students. It will be a great way to get to know your Google tech neighbors.

In most parts of the country, November weather is lousy. Before the holidays are upon us, pack a bag and join us for some fantastic weather and even better technical content! While you're here enjoy some great food, drink, and time on the beach. Not a lot of tech conferences can offer you all of that.

Organized by three Google Developer Group (GDG) chapters: Sun Coast, Central Florida, and Space Coast. GDGs are open communities, run by volunteers passionate about Google technology, and look to share their experiences and knowledge with others.

This is a non-profit event. All proceeds from ticket sales will be used for event costs like the venue, audio/visual, food, beverages, swag, etc.
