This workshop will also provide opportunities for the community to interact with the facilitators' wealth of hands-on experience with the Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Android, User Experience (UX), Design Sprints, Startups and Developer Communities.

Hello everyone,

I was impressed by the event on Saturday, I caught the tail end of it while coming back from another event.

Well done to the Doris, John and the GDG leadership.

Looking forward to seeing Google Developer Experts from Ghana leading similar events here and beyond.
