Why Tech Meets Human
Technology moves fast. People need room to grow.
DevFest Bandung 2026 is not just about tools and trends. We designed a day that connects hard skills with the human reality behind them: learning new things, facing career shifts, overcoming feeling alone in the industry, and finding people to grow with.
Build with purpose
Learn new technologies and practices through keynotes, codelabs, and technical sessions relevant to your journey.
Grow with others
Meet fellow builders, share real concerns, and find new discussion partners or collaborators.
Leave with momentum
Leave with buildable ideas, actionable connections, and clear next steps within the community.
One day, four ways to grow
Learn the tech. Meet the human. Build what is next.
Every part of DevFest is designed to provide a distinct energy: shared inspiration, focused learning, breathing space, and relaxed yet meaningful collaboration.
01Main Stage
Big ideas for a changing industry.
Keynotes and panel sessions to explore industry trends, the future of AI, and global stories that guide direction.
02The Builders Rooms
Choose your path. Build with depth.
Three parallel rooms: App Builders, Platform Builders, and Business Builders.
03The Human Activity
A space to pause, reflect, and connect.
Interactive activations for career reflection, light mindfulness, and conversations that reassure attendees they are not alone.
04Vibe Hackathon
Meet strangers. Make something together.
Problem-solving sprint in small teams to create solution concepts, architectures, or wireframes — and kickstart new connections.
Pick a room. Go deeper.
Three learning paths for every kind of builder.

03 · The Human Activity
You are more than what you ship.
In the midst of intense technical sessions, step into a space designed to slow down the pace. Write your thoughts in the Worry Log, pick a reflection card, or join small chats about career shifts, burnout, and staying grounded in a fast-moving industry.
Coming alone is completely fine. Sharing is not mandatory. Take the space you need.
Worry Log Write down what has been on your mind. Leave it on the wall.
Reflection Card Pick one prompt. Keep it, or talk it through.
Small chats on career shifts, burnout, and staying grounded.
04 · Vibe Hackathon
Strangers in. Collaborators out.
No need to come with a team. In the Vibe Hackathon, you will be paired with other attendees to respond to a problem statement, design a solution, and present ideas in a light format. The goal isn’t a perfect product — the goal is starting conversations that continue after the event.
