Imagine arriving at a conference and immediately feeling inspired: your agenda is packed with must-see GitHub Copilot sessions, booths are filled with experts from top tech companies, and you’re surrounded by thousands of fellow developers and leaders eager to connect.

That is the experience we’re curating to celebrate 10 years of our global developer event. This year, we’re going bigger and better with a stunning new venue as the foundation. We hope you’ll join us at the Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture on the San Francisco Bay, from October 29-30, or virtually from anywhere in the world.

As the world’s fair of software, GitHub Universe 2024 will be an unparalleled gathering of the brightest minds, companies, and innovators in the industry. With sessions diving into AI, the developer experience (DevEx), and security, attendees will have an opportunity to explore the latest products, best practices, and insights shaping the future of software development.
