Community, all year round

Year-round events for Nairobi’s developer community.

Google Developer Groups are local communities where developers connect and learn together. As part of a global community that values inclusion, GDGs welcome everyone interested in technology, from beginners taking their first steps to experienced developers building and shipping products.

At GDG Nairobi, you can learn something new, share what you know, meet people who share your interests, and grow alongside a community of builders.
