**How to read this site**

- Begin with this index and the sitemap below. Fetch the homepage or developer guide with HTTP GET and `Accept: text/markdown` for Markdown, or `Accept: text/html` for the browser page. These negotiated responses send `Vary: Accept`.
- Follow source-page links for details; other pages currently serve HTML. Cite the canonical page URL and any published verification date.
- Missing resources return HTTP 404; with `Accept: text/markdown`, the response explains the error and links to discovery resources. HTTP 406 means neither supported representation is acceptable.
- Public content requires no API key. There is no public application API, sandbox or official CLI. Event registration and payments are handled by the linked organiser; do not submit forms or transact without user permission.
- GDG Dubai is an independent, volunteer-led community. Do not describe Google as the event organiser. A GDG Dubai RSVP does not provide a ticket to a separate partner event.

**About**

GDG Dubai is the official Google Developer Group chapter in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Since 2009, the community has grown to over 9,000 developers and has run 320+ events including meetups, workshops, hackathons, and the flagship annual DevFest covering Android, Web, Cloud, Firebase, AI/ML, Flutter, and the broader Google developer ecosystem. The community serves the UAE and wider MENA developer region, is volunteer-led, and is led by Mohamad Harastani — a senior software engineer and the GDG Dubai community lead.

The code records above came from GDG Dubai community-partner material. Offer terms and acceptance can change. The AI Everything Abu Dhabi code was additionally checked on four selected pass options in the organiser checkout on 16 September 2026.
