We’re pleased to welcome an excellent lineup of speakers to GitHub Satellite, the first ever international event in the GitHub Universe conference series. On May 11, 2016, 500 people will converge in Amsterdam to learn how developers, founders, activists, and more create impactful technologies.
Check out sessions led by GitHub executives and engineers like CEO Chris Wanstrath, VP of Social Impact Nicole Sanchez, and Head of Open Source Brandon Keepers. We’ll also feature talks from GitHub customers and partners, open source maintainers, and organizations who are building software for social good.
The GitHub Satellite program is organized into two tracks:
Discover:
The Discover track provides an introduction to the ideas, people and companies who are advancing the world through software, creating business transformation, or building the methodologies and practices that will drive software development into the future.
Develop:
The Develop track provides practical and tactical advice to developers seeking to implement modern software development practices, maintain or evolve open source projects and communities, and adopt best practices for scaling or building integrations for GitHub.
Check out the schedule and grab a ticket and we’ll see you in Amsterdam.
