During two conference days attendees will be able to attend sessions and hands-on workshops, chat with experts and attendees at coffee breaks and after party, and more.

All the lectures from the sessions will be available for free on GDG Lviv youtube channel few weeks after the conference. Workshops won’t be recorded. Also, there could be a livestream provided by participants which you can find via #dfua and #Devfest18 hashtags.

If the ticket was bought after September 30th registered participants won’t get printed badge (their names will be written on the badge by marker).

Once you've successfully payed for the ticket you’ll reach a confirmation screen and receive an email with the ticket. Please don’t forget to download it on your device or print it, as it’s required for entrance.
All presentations at DevFest Nairobi will be in English.
If you’re joining us in-person at Planeta Kino, here are some useful tips to navigate your way through the conference:
- Lost & Found: Will be located at the Conference Info Desk (Registration point) during event hours. Any items left overnight will be turned over to the Conference Security Office.
- Lunch: Attendees are invited to have a lunch at one of the many restaurants at King Cross shopping mall.
- After Hours: Day 1 afterparty you don’t want to miss! Attendees are invited to enjoy food, drinks, music, games, and more during the evening of October 12th (location will be published). Your attendee badge is required for entrance.
To expedite the check-in process, we’ll begin badge pick-up on Thursday, October 11, (location will be published). Make sure to bring your ticket along with student/lecturer ID (for EDU tickets), as we’ll need to verify it prior to assigning you your DevFest Nairobi badge. If you don’t have proper identification, you won’t be able to receive a badge and won’t be admitted to the conference.
Everyone is guaranteed a seat for the keynotes but the best seats will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis during badge pick-up beginning at 9AM on October 12th. So make sure to come in on time!
Please note, you may not share, give, or otherwise provide your badge to anyone. DevFest Nairobi badges aren’t replaceable, so don't lose yours or you won’t be readmitted to the conference. You must wear your DevFest Nairobi badge to gain admission to the conference, including the sessions, workshops, and afterparty. If requested by security, please display or provide additional identification. DevFest Nairobi badges may include your name, company or work title (if provided).
All registered attendees are invited to the afterparty on the evenings of October 12th. The conference badges will be required for entry. Please join us for food, drinks, music, games, and more. Alcoholic beverages will be available for those 18 and over.
