The Google Developers Group (GDG) is a community of developers and enthusiasts who show interest in Google’s technology products and platforms. Every year, UC hosts two publicly-accessible events with the GDG Baguio: I/O Extended and DevFest.

The GDG I/O Extended Baguio 2022 was hosted last July 30, 2022 at the Innovation and Technology Transfer Office, Legarda Campus, attended by 50 students from 5 schools from the Baguio-Benguet area, and 10 IT professionals and freelancers in Northern Luzon. The event, running with Bacolod and Cagayan de Oro, is a series of community led tech meetups that bring the knowledge and excitement of Google I/O to developers on a community level. It includes the showcase of innovation in the open, connection with developers for thoughtful discussions across all three cities, learning from Google Experts, and getting a first look at Google’s latest developer products.

The Google DevFest Baguio 2022, a global, decentralized event that features the latest trends and technologies in Google, was hosted last November 14, 2022 at the UC Theater. The event had around 300 participants: students from 6 colleges and universities in the Baguio-Benguet area, and 100 IT professionals and enthusiasts, MSMEs, and government and non-government organizations across Northern Luzon. The morning session was filled with talks from notable speakers related to news, trends, and technologies. The afternoon session included talks on the Web, Kotlin development, and event partners and what they can do for the startup community. It also included laboratory workshops on Google Cloud, Internet of Things and Google Assistant, and material design.
