GitHub Copilot Dev Days - Toronto - #2

Join us for the first GitHub Copilot Dev Days Canada event in Toronto, bringing together developers, educators, maintainers, and builders across education, government, and the broader public sector. This community‑led meetup is focused on practical, real‑world GitHub workflows, modern AI‑assisted development, and open tooling — with an emphasis on learning, sharing, and building responsibly in regulated and mission‑driven environments. Whether you’re working on internal tools, research projects, student platforms, or public‑facing services, this evening is designed to meet you where you are. Whether you use VS Code, JetBrains, Cursor, Claude Code, or any other tool in your stack, this meetup is GitHub‑centric but fully tool‑agnostic — come as you are, code how you like.
