Free Event
Presented by GitHub
Host: Ve Varun Sharma on LinkedIn
Featuring: Jeremy Moseley on LinkedIn, Logan Porelle
An afternoon for builders, maintainers and developers who work inside the GitHub ecosystem, built around short lightning talks and live demos rather than a keynote. Ve frames it as GitHub-centric but tool-agnostic. Whatever you already code with is welcome: VS Code, JetBrains, Cursor, Claude Code. Three talks are named so far: where the agentic SDLC stands now, what it takes to be a product-focused engineer, and teaching Git to people who are not developers. A fourth slot is open, with talks submitted and up-voted in an open repo. A community social closes it out.
Anu's Take
The first one was excellent, and it came with more pizza than the room could physically get through. My Mona the Octocat plush sits on my desk. The second reads like more of the same, which is the compliment rather than the complaint. I can't make this one.

Nothing settles what you actually built like a demo does, and mine took six hours: an ER queue platform two of us put together at a hackathon.
