# Navigating Screens in Jetpack Compose (DevFest India 2021 - Mobile Track)

Hey Android developers 👋,

Now everyone is aware that Jetpack Compose is the future of Android UI development. DevFest India 2021 just happened this month (*October 2021*) and it’s a treasure of learning for everyone. I was also one of the speakers for the mobile track where I spoke about ***“Navigating screens in Jetpack Compose”*** on the second day. It’s a great experience for me as well to speak at such a large conference. Here are the details of the session.
