We’re excited to announce that from March 28-31, we’ll be hosting GitHub Galaxy, our virtual global enterprise event designed to help you supercharge developer productivity and transform your business.
How does developer productivity impact businesses at large? Well, let’s take a quick look at Telus, a communications and information technology provider in Canada. When their team switched to GitHub, they were able to streamline the developer workflow—and save $16.9M in the process.
That’s just one example of how innovative tools and developer-friendly features can create real, lasting change. And GitHub Galaxy is where you can get a glimpse of the latest and greatest tools (like GitHub Copilot) that are enabling devs to work smarter and helping business leaders achieve their goals, too.
Sign up for the event right here. (Registration is free!). And keep reading below for a sneak peek at some of the sessions and speakers.
