DevFest Ogbomoso 2026 is a two-day event. The main conference is on Saturday, October 17, 2026, 9:00 AM – 3:35 PM (GMT+1).

For everyone who builds

This year, DevFest Ogbomoso brings together professional developers, non-traditional developers, and tech-savvy builders who create with dev tools without calling themselves developers ("Builders").

Whether you're writing production code, building with AI or no-code tools, launching a startup, or a student simply exploring a tech career, DevFest Ogbomoso is where you'll learn, find the right connections, and get the inspiration that takes you to the next level.
