Celebrating the Success of Google DevFest 2024 at HKIIT!
We are delighted to share that Google DevFest 2024 has just concluded at HKIIT, and it was a
monumental event! Building on last year's achievement of over 1,300 registered participants,
this year, we welcomed an impressive 2,000 registered attendees to HKIIT, making it our
largest DevFest to date!
A special thank you to Michael Y. - Managing Director and General Manager of Google Hong
Kong, along with Googlers, Google Developer Experts (GDE), and other leaders from supporting
organisations. Your invaluable insights and experiences contributed greatly to the success
of this event. We also extend our gratitude to the dedicated volunteers from GDG Hong Kong
and our HKIIT teachers and students, whose hard work made this event possible.
At HKIIT, we partnered with Google to cultivate the next generation of cloud computing
talent. Our students had the opportunity to engage with cutting-edge cloud technology
educational resources in cloud technology and showcase their innovative capabilities in the
GDSC Solution Challenge. Two projects namely “AI Cloud Industrial Safety Guardian Dog” and
“GeProVis AI Screen Reader” achieved recognitions among the top 100 globally.
This year’s DevFest featured 8 Tracks and over 40 Sessions, exploring hot topics across
various Google technologies and tailoring them to meet the needs of local developers. The
sessions covered a diverse array of cutting-edge topics, including Generative AI, LLM,
Flutter and Firebase, Cloud Computing, Web Technologies, etc. Attendees gained valuable
insights, practical knowledge, and the opportunity to network with like-minded individuals
passionate about technology.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the speakers, volunteers, and attendees who
contributed to making Google DevFest 2024 another resounding success. Your enthusiasm and
passion for technology continue to inspire us. We’re excited to see what the future holds
and eagerly look forward to more engaging events in the days to come!
Thank you for being part of this incredible journey!
