DevFestMN has run since 2013 and is organized by volunteers from GDG Twin Cities. Attendees range from students to seasoned professionals, and the day is built for learning from each other as much as from the stage.

GDG DevFests are community-run developer conferences held by Google Developer Groups around the world. Each one is planned by its local group, with its own speakers and topics.
