I founded the Google Developer Group Sophia-Antipolis chapter in March 2022 to organize tech events and build a developer community in the south of France.
Impact
Since the creation of the chapter, we have organized 30+ events including monthly meetups and annual conferences.
DevFest Sophia-Antipolis
DevFest is our flagship annual conference, and it has grown significantly each year:
| Year | Attendees | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 40 | First edition |
| 2023 | 70 | Growing community |
| 2024 | 150 | Record attendance |
| 2025 | 100 | Heavy rain didn’t stop us! |
What We Do
- Monthly tech talks: Online and in-person events covering various tech topics
- Annual DevFest conference: Full-day tech conference with multiple tracks
- Community building: Creating a space for developers to connect, learn, and share
- Diversity & inclusion: Promoting diversity in tech and welcoming everyone
The Team
We are now a team of dedicated organizers running regular events. Our ambition is humble: building a community of tech people that lift others and create technical and human emulation with no ego.
