On October 11, 2025, I attended GDG Cloud Thessaloniki DevFest 2025 at the University of Macedonia a day packed with learning, inspiration, and great people.

Highlights

DevFest 2025 brought together developers, tech enthusiasts, and community leaders to explore the latest in AI, Cloud, DevOps, and entrepreneurship.

Some standout talks included:

• Andre Sara – Democratising AI & Responsible Development

Each session offered real insights into how AI and cloud are reshaping the way we build products.

Key Takeaways

• AI is getting personal – from on-device models to ethical frameworks.

• Action over theory – speakers shared practical tools and ideas I can apply immediately.

Until the next one!
