Working in remote locations often means that internet access is limited or interrupted. This talk will look at the technical challenges and solutions for building a robust and efficient synchronization engine written in Flutter for Android, iOS and Web. The presentation will demonstrate how an intelligent synchronization mechanism, working on both the front-end and back-end, can efficiently manage data transfer. We will discuss strategies to ensure that only changed data is synchronized when the connection is restored to minimize bandwidth consumption and optimize performance. Join us to discover how a well-designed sync engine can provide field teams in even the most remote locations with reliable access to critical information, driving the success of complex projects in challenging environments.

In this hands-on workshop, we’ll build a tiny AI assistant that lives inside a Flutter app—think of it as a “mini ChatGPT” tailored to a specific theme like travel, cooking, or even Flutter documentation. We’ll kick things off with the basics, set everyone up with cloud credits, and provide boilerplate code to help you hit the ground running. The entire workshop will use the Google tech stack—including Flutter, Firebase, and Vertex AI—so you’ll gain practical experience with powerful, production-ready tools. From there, it’s up to you: each participant will create their own personal AI sidekick for a unique purpose. At the end, we’ll showcase our creations and vote on the most impressive, weirdest, or funniest sidekick. Prizes await the winners! What You’ll Learn: How to integrate AI capabilities into a Flutter app Basics of using Vertex AI and Firebase for custom LLM-powered experiences Structuring conversational UI and managing AI prompts effectively Tips for building fun, useful, or just plain weird AI sidekicks
