Other organizers worth knowing
This is editorial context, not a dated event feed. Check each organizer's own site for its current program. devkick does not host, ticket, or represent these communities.
GDG Waterloo
Pick GDG Waterloo when you are building close to Google's developer ecosystem and want a technical chapter format. It is a better fit for focused tooling and platform sessions than for general startup networking.
How to use this page
A city page gives builders a starting point: devkick's own programming where it exists, plus a short editorial read on recurring local communities. It is intentionally not a complete calendar. Dates, venues, tickets, and organizer decisions belong on the linked official sites.
The curation is evergreen and refreshed in a bounded monthly pass. If you are looking for a devkick Kick, use the Luma calendar, then follow the specific event link when one is published. For the full programming record, see all devkick events.
