## General

### What is DevFest Toulouse?

The DevFest, or "Developers Festival", is a technical conference for developers.
It is aimed at students, professionals or simply curious technophiles.
Throughout the day, renowned speakers will present a variety of topics: around mobile development, the web, data, connected objects, the cloud, DevOps, etc... as well as good development practices.
Pauses are used to engage in dialogue and deepen the topics presented.

Software development is a very broad subject and our selection committee is committed to providing a varied and interesting program.
This day will be an opportunity to meet speakers of international but also national renown, indeed we also aim to make an important place for local speakers.

DevFest is part of an [international event](https://developers.google.com/events/devfest/) and is organised in partnership with Google.


### Organizing communities

DevFest Toulouse is an event organized by the developer communities of Toulouse, and administratively supported by GDG Toulouse.
You will find the list of communities at the bottom of the main page.

To make all this possible, an over-vitaminated team of volunteers is working behind the scenes.
