ICYMI: A look back at GitHub Universe 2022

GitHub Universe 2022, held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, marked the return of in-person gatherings for the developer community after three years, drawing over 1,300 attendees and many more virtually in a hybrid format. The two-day event featured a mix of keynote talks, technical sessions, and workshops, where GitHub unveiled new platform features like free Codespaces hours for individual developers and the upcoming GitHub Copilot for Business. Attendees engaged in interactive demos, discussions, and community-building activities, and could explore new products at the swag shop. The in-person and virtual experiences were designed to foster learning and collaboration, with content available on-demand for those who missed the live sessions. The event emphasized the importance of community, learning, and fun, with activities ranging from AI selfies to motivational messages for aspiring tech students, all culminating in a celebration of the global developer community.
