devFest HCMC 2025 focuses on AI trends
devFest HCMC 2025 is part of the devFest annual event for the programming community organized by Google Developer Groups (GDG) HCMC, returning to the largest scale ever.
This year, the event is implemented throughout three stages: Road to devFest (special seminar series), devFest on campus (an event accompanying students of six universities in Ho Chi Minh City) and the main festival to bring technology closer to students and young people who are passionate about technology.
The event gathered experts working in large technology companies, speakers who are experts from the Google Developer Experts community, technology enterprises and the Vietnamese software engineer community.
The devFest HCMC 2025 sharing sessions revolve around the theme of AI, Google Cloud, web and application development and the strong transformation of major language models. Attendees not only listen to sharing but also practice with the latest AI tools from Google. The team of experts from the Google ecosystem has brought practical perspectives on how AI technology is changing the process of creating digital products.
This is also a special point that makes many young people look forward to devFest HCMC 2025. In addition to direct access to technologies applied by leading enterprises, attendees also participate in practice sessions and participate in-depth sharing from experts, helping to strengthen practical skills and expand career perspectives in the context of a strongly competitive technology market.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy Duong, representative of the organizing committee, shared: The team of programmers and technology engineers not only need knowledge but also need to master AI and new tools. devFest HCMC 2025 is organized to help them shorten that gap".
