Join us Oct 25th
DevFest GemJam is a welcoming space where people of all backgrounds come together to imagine, build, and share ideas for a better future. Instead of focusing on competition or speed, we emphasize collaboration, creativity, and community impact. With AI transforming the world, we approach it as a tool for augmentation, not replacement — a partner that supports human creativity, connection, and problem-solving.
At this event, participants explore how to use AI responsibly and ethically, ensuring that innovation is guided by inclusivity, fairness, and care for people. Whether you’re a coder, designer, storyteller, or community builder, there’s a place for your voice. Together, we’ll create solutions that reflect both human ingenuity and human values.
