What to expect

GDG London launches AI DevCamp 2026, a comprehensive 3-week intensive programme designed to take developers from complete beginners to confident AI agent builders. This kick-off session marks the start of a hands-on learning journey that combines practical coding with real-world application development using Google's latest AI tools and frameworks.

What Makes This DevCamp Special

Building on the overwhelming success of GDG London's previous Build with AI event, this DevCamp responds directly to community demand for deeper, more technical AI agent training. Over three weeks (23rd April – 7th May 2026), participants will progress through a structured curriculum that demystifies AI agents and equips developers with production-ready skills.

The programme centres on Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK), Model Context Protocol (MCP), and Gemini, giving you hands-on experience with cutting-edge agentic AI technologies. You'll learn not just the theory behind AI agents, but how to architect, build, evaluate, and deploy them in real-world scenarios.

Technical Learning Path

The DevCamp covers essential topics for modern AI agent development:

  • Core Agent Architecture: Understand how AI agents actually work under the hood, from reasoning loops to decision-making processes
  • Hands-on Building: Create your own functional AI agent using Google ADK, working through practical examples and challenges
  • Advanced Agent Systems: Explore MCP integration, tool use, and multi-agent orchestration for complex workflows
  • Production Deployment: Learn evaluation techniques, performance optimization, and deployment strategies for agent solutions

The programme is structured for progressive learning, accommodating both absolute beginners and developers looking to deepen their understanding of agentic systems. Whether you're making your first steps into AI or expanding your existing knowledge, the curriculum provides a clear, practical pathway to shipping production AI agents.

Event Format

The kick-off session takes place in person at Skyscanner's offices on Manette Street in central London, providing an opportunity to meet fellow participants, connect with the GDG London organising team, and get oriented for the weeks ahead. The main DevCamp content runs online, making it accessible regardless of your location while maintaining the collaborative energy of a cohort-based learning experience.
