GitHub Copilot Dev Days Vancouver - our biggest one yet. 170+ RSVPs. 200+ demand. A packed room of engineers, founders, and technical leaders from across the ecosystem. Enterprise presence highlights: TD Bank, Wells Fargo, Mastercard, Rogers, Best Buy, SAP, Workday, Rivian, HP, Fraser Health, and more. Digital natives & startups highlights: Shopify, Instacart, Databricks, Amazon, TikTok, EA Games, Dialpad, JUDI AI, and a strong showing from local AI startups and indie builders. The audience skewed heavily toward hands-on engineers - Senior SWEs, Staff Engineers, Principal Engineers, DevOps leads, CTOs, and founders - which made every demo and workflow discussion rich with awesome questions and engagement from the audience! Huge thank you to Ray Kao for flying in from Toronto to deliver an outstanding session on Agentic Platform Engineering. Another thank you to Keyann Al-Kheder for his deep dive on Advanced GitHub Copilot workflows and his journey across the AI coding tools to GitHub Copilot. It's so great to see this community-led, developer-first group come together coast to coast. You were awesome Vancouver!! More cities coming across Canada, Edmonton you're up next!
