Our Events

DevJams (2019)

The 36-hour hackathon provided a platform to the young, talented and aspiring coders, developers and designers to showcase their inventiveness and creativity. DevJams was a one-stop destination which brought along with it, plentiful opportunities to improve the skillset of students and to build something new and exemplary.

Cloudfest (2019)

Cloudfest was a one-stop destination to know all about the Cloud industry and to get acquainted with the latest innovations and technologies by connecting with speakers and tech-experts from all around the world! A 6-hour long workshop to bring you closer to the cloud.

Devtalks (2018)

We conducted “Devtalks”, the biggest technical convention in VIT with esteemed speakers from various national and international tech companies like Google, Agora, LBRY, SlangLabs to name a few. It was attended by more than 1000 curious and interactive students.

Devfest (2018)

Devfest, Asia’s largest college-level hackathon is also one of the feathers in our cap, conducting an event as big as Devfest is always something to be proud of. Our first Devfest was organised in 2015 and over the years more than 1000 participants have attended it. These participants were carefully selected from over 5000 applicants.

Study Jams

We regularly organise hands-on workshops also known as Study Jams, on cutting-edge technologies. Many students learn a lot from the content delivered in these and many regard them as their first steps into the technical world.

Women Techies

We also encourage girls to excel in the technical world through our association with Women Techmakers, VIT and we collaborate with them to conduct events and hackathons such as Women Techies.
