About
Google DevFest Agreste'26 is a community-run developer festival organised by GDG Arapiraca, the local Google Developer Groups chapter in the Agreste region of Alagoas, Brazil. Under the theme of building, securing and scaling in the agentic era, it is open to developers, students, professionals, entrepreneurs and technology enthusiasts, from experienced engineers to those taking their first steps. The event takes place in Arapiraca on 11 and 12 December 2026 as an in-person gathering. It opens with a community evening on 11 December, followed by a full day of talks, demonstrations, hands-on workshops and networking on 12 December. The programme is structured around three pillars: building with AI, securing AI applications and agents through privacy, data protection and reliability, and scaling prototypes using cloud architectures. Listed themes include Gemini, Gemma, Firebase, Flutter, Android, Angular, Google Cloud and the web. Participants gain practical exposure to current Google developer technologies and AI agent tooling, along with career guidance and connections within the regional tech scene. For a community outside Brazil's largest tech centres, DevFest Agreste brings learning opportunities closer to home and helps strengthen the local developer ecosystem.

Planning your trip to Arapiraca
Contains sponsored linksGoogle DevFest Agreste'26 brings the GDG Arapiraca community together on 11-12 December 2026 in Arapiraca, the largest city of the Alagoas agreste, the transition zone between the humid coast and the dry sertão of north-east Brazil. December falls in the region's dry, hot summer, with long sunny days well suited to evening meetups after the sessions. The two-day format and the agentic-AI theme make it a good reason to pair inland Alagoas with a few days on the state's coast.
Getting there & around
The nearest major airport is Maceió's Zumbi dos Palmares International Airport (MCZ), with domestic connections from São Paulo, Rio, Brasília and other hubs. From Maceió, Arapiraca is roughly 130 km inland, about two hours by car or intercity bus along state highways. Recife (REC) is a longer alternative with more international flights. Within Arapiraca, taxis and ride-hailing apps are the practical way to reach the event venue.
Skip the taxi queue — pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer with Kiwitaxi. Exploring beyond the city? compare rental cars on EconomyBookings.
Staying connected
Coverage is good in Arapiraca itself but can thin out on the road from the coast, so download offline maps before leaving Maceió. A Brazilian eSIM installed before your trip also helps with ride-hailing and paying via local apps. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
After the sessions
Lago da Perucaba. Arapiraca's lakeside park is the city's favourite spot for an evening walk, with paths, kiosks and open space around the water. It is an easy stop after the first conference day; go around sunset when the December heat eases. Allow an hour or so and bring water.
Pajuçara natural pools, Maceió. If you fly through Maceió, add a morning on the Pajuçara seafront, where traditional jangada rafts take visitors out to reef pools at low tide. Trips depend on the tide table, so check times the day before. Budget half a day including time on the beach promenade.
Penedo on the São Francisco River. This colonial river town in southern Alagoas is known for its baroque churches and views across the São Francisco to Sergipe. It works as a day trip by car from Arapiraca or as a stop on the way back to the coast. Visit in the morning to avoid the strongest afternoon sun.
Good to know
Which airport should I fly into for DevFest Agreste'26?
Maceió (MCZ) is the closest airport, about two hours by road from Arapiraca. Recife (REC) offers more international connections but adds several hours of driving.
What is the weather in Arapiraca in December?
December is part of the dry, hot season in inland Alagoas, with sunny days and warm evenings. Light clothing, sunscreen and a refillable water bottle are recommended.
How do people pay in Brazil?
Cards are widely accepted, and Brazilians use the instant-payment system Pix constantly. Visitors without a Brazilian bank account should carry a card and some cash in reais for small vendors.
