Join us at the Vega Developer Meetup in Munich, hosted by Amazon at the AWS office in the city center. This afternoon gathering is for developers building for Vega-powered devices or curious about how React Native and Android TV fit together in modern app stacks.

We’ll kick things off with a hands-on workshop led by Callstack’s Michał Pierzchała, showing how to integrate Vega React Native components into existing native Android TV applications. It’s a practical, code-first session (space is limited to 30 attendees).

After the workshop, the main event begins. You’ll hear technical talks from the Vega team, updates on the 2026 roadmap, and community-driven sessions covering topics like brownfield development and AI in TV apps. We’ll close with casual networking over drinks and snacks.
