Berlin was the backdrop for the largest Fluttercon event to date. Developers, companies, and community leaders from across Europe came together to celebrate Flutter, share knowledge, and imagine the future of multi-platform development.
Hallo Freunde!
Fluttercon EU was an incredible opportunity for Very Good Ventures (VGV) to connect with the broader developer community, and our booth quickly became a central hub of activity. Attendees stopped by to meet our team, exchange ideas, and gain insights into how we approach innovation with Flutter.

We also shared exclusive VGV swag, which drew in both long-time Flutter enthusiasts and newcomers curious about our work. The combination of VGV World—the interactive game we debuted in this region—limited edition collectible pins, and the ever-popular unicorn plushies (cutest creatures ever), made our booth one of the most memorable stops at the event. Built with Flutter, Firebase, and AI, VGV World showcased both our creativity and Flutter’s versatility, engaging attendees in a fun, hands-on way that highlighted the breadth and impact of our client projects.

This year, the conference itself embraced sustainability and creativity by introducing live screen-printing for attendee merchandise. Instead of distributing pre-made shirts, participants could bring their own shirt and customize it on-site with event-exclusive designs.
The conference also attracted a diverse range of organizations, each showcasing innovations that reflect the growing maturity of the Flutter ecosystem.
VGV on Stage: Full House
VGV took the spotlight with multiple sessions that drew full rooms and sparked lively conversations:
The “fastest” application of Flutter of all time!

Our keynote gave a behind-the-scenes look at building an immersive, trackside VIP experience with Trackhouse Entertainment Group, designed and deployed with Flutter. Attendees learned how starting with multi-device thinking changes design research, product strategy, and deployment—and how Flutter makes ambitious, real-world builds possible.

This talk was a deep dive into CustomPainter, a powerful Flutter tool that gives developers full control over the canvas—perfect for crafting visuals that standard widgets simply can’t handle. Sofía walked the audience through how she used CustomPainter in a real production feature to draw and manipulate paths, demonstrating how to transform SVGs into custom path data for direct use within Flutter apps.
Beyond the widgets: Evaluating Flutter apps with code assessments

This session provided a practical, in-depth look at evaluating and improving Flutter codebases through structured code assessments. Óscar walked the audience through proven methods for analyzing architecture, scalability, and maintainability—core aspects that determine the long-term success of any Flutter app.
Under the Hood of ScrollViews

Dominik took developers deep into the mechanics of scrolling in Flutter, revealing what truly happens beneath the surface of widgets like ScrollView, Scrollable, and Viewport. He also broke down how these elements interact to create smooth, performant scroll experiences, and what can go wrong when they’re not properly managed.
Building a Full-Stack App for Apple Wallet Passes
Marcos Sevilla, Senior Engineer at VGV

This session explored how to build a full-stack Flutter application that generates and manages Apple Wallet passes using Dart Frog. Marcos walked the audience through creating a Dart-powered API to generate passes and integrating it seamlessly with a Flutter front end, demonstrating how Dart can efficiently handle both backend and client layers.
Thank you to everyone who joined our talks and engaged with our team. We’ll be sharing the session recordings as soon as they’re available.
What’s Fluttercon Without an After Party?
Conferences are about connection, and we wanted to give the community a place to celebrate. Together with Shorebird, we hosted an official after party at Berlin’s iconic Café am Neuen See Biergarten, where developers and Flutter fans enjoyed beer, laughter, and plenty of lively conversations under the trees.
The Endless Energy of Community Connections
At VGV, we’re proud to support this community, contribute knowledge, and help shape the future of digital experiences. It was amazing to see everyone and spend time with our team in person!
Next year, Fluttercon EU joins forces with Droidcon and other ecosystem events to become Next.App DevCon—the world’s largest mobile app developer conference, uniting six mobile ecosystems in one event.
See you next year at Next.App DevCon, October 7-9 in Berlin!
