About the festival
Not just a tech conference
this year.
DevFest is an annual, community-run tech conference hosted by Google Developer Groups worldwide — but DevFest Nashik 2026 isn't just a tech conference this year.
For the first time, we're expanding beyond code. Alongside developers, the stage this year belongs equally to content creators, entrepreneurs and designers — because building something that lasts today takes more than technical skill alone. It takes the ability to tell a story, turn an idea into a venture, and give it an identity people remember.
Whether you write code, create content, build startups, or design brands — this is your DevFest too.
Nashik has spent generations turning grapes into wine — growing, harvesting, refining. DevFest Nashik 2026 borrows that same journey.
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 02
The Bloom

Why these four
Take one away,
and it doesn't ship.
- 01 Technology builds it an idea that runs
- 02 Content tells its story people who care
- 03 Entrepreneurship turns it into a business something that lasts
- 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.

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.
A DevFest Nashik ticket is ₹899. 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 changes is the discount — Pahili Todni takes 35% off (₹584), Panchavati Express 25% off (₹674) and Ek Plate Misal 10% off (₹809). Jhanjhanit Tarri, the last-minute fare, is ₹1,999.
Because the early discount is genuinely bigger, not a marketing trick. The ticket is ₹899 throughout — Pahili Todni just takes 35% off it, and each fare after that takes less. Jhanjhanit Tarri drops the discount entirely at ₹1,999, and in most years the earlier fares sell out before it ever opens, so paying more is not a guaranteed way in.
Yes — the Kumbh Mela Squad. Book 10 or more tickets together and the whole group gets a discount in a single booking. The exact percentage is announced alongside the fares.
Sunday, 25 October 2026, at an indoor auditorium in Nashik. The venue is confirmed and booked — we're holding the name back for the reveal. 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 Panchavati Express, a plate of misal, and the Kumbh.
Yes to all three. The call for speakers opens soon and will be linked from this page. Partner slots are open across three tiers — the buttons in the Partners section open a WhatsApp chat with the team. And the volunteer form is live now.
