Now in its second year, DEVSummit returned even bigger and better in 2025. Guidewire’s global developer community came together at two dynamic events in India and Poland, drawing thousands of passionate builders eager to learn, collaborate, and innovate with insurance technology.
DEVSummit India: A Hub of Innovation and Hands-On Learning
1,500 technical professionals from across the Guidewire ecosystem gathered in Bengaluru for the second annual DEVSummit India, a two-day deep dive into Guidewire’s latest cloud platform advancements and technical strategies. The energy was electric, fueled by six content streams that spanned Cloud Architecture, Integration, Data, Configuration, Developer Experience, and Testing & Automation.
Attendees transformed knowledge into practice on the spot. More than a thousand developers participated in immersive hands-on sessions, gaining practical skills they could immediately apply to their projects. A standout moment was the launch of the Guidewire Technology Labs, a new initiative in partnership with leading universities to bridge academic learning with real-world insurance tech challenges.

The event also featured the debut of DEVTrails, a university-focused hackathon that brought students into the ecosystem through hands-on challenges and mentorship. Attendees across the board participated in team-based activities that sparked collaboration and friendly competition.
““DEVSummit is more than just an event; it catalyzes innovation and collaboration within the Guidewire ecosystem and stands out as one of India’s largest developer communities.” shared Mohammed Anzy S, Managing Director and Vice President of Engineering, Guidewire India, capturing the spirit of DEVSummit India.
DEVSummit Poland: Real-World Challenges, Competition, and Skill
Not long after, the developer spotlight shifted to a brand-new location with the inaugural DEVSummit Poland—our first time bringing the event to Europe. Designed as a more intimate, hands-on experience, this format welcomed developers of all skill levels, from beginners learning the basics to experienced engineers diving into advanced integration challenges.
Developers took on one of three curated challenge tracks: Jutro Digital Platform, Integration Gateway, and Advanced Product Designer. They completed over 100 hands-on challenges in total, with the Integration Gateway track seeing the highest engagement.
Beyond the technical accomplishments, the event fostered deep collaboration and knowledge sharing. Attendees worked side-by-side with Guidewire subject matter experts, exploring platform capabilities, troubleshooting in real-time, and building confidence through practical problem-solving.
“Attendees truly appreciated the opportunity to connect face-to-face, engage directly with the Guidewire team, and gain deeper insights into the platform’s roadmap and practical applications. The informal, collaborative atmosphere helped participants engage freely.,” reflected the Sollers Team.
Both events underscored the strength and enthusiasm of our developer community worldwide. From Bengaluru to Warsaw, the shared passion for innovation, learning, and collaboration was unmistakable, and it’s only accelerating.
