Sessions

Explore the Universe 2025 on demand catalog. Filter by topic, audience, industry, format, or experience level.

Breakout session (40 minutes)

A focused presentation designed to inform and inspire the audience. These sessions typically feature a single speaker or co-presenters sharing expertise, insights, and practical takeaways. While this session type is primarily in a presentation format, audience engagement through Q&A, polls, and/or brief interactions is encouraged to enrich the experience.

Panel discussion (40 minutes)

A moderated session where a diverse group of experts debate or discuss fresh, timely, and thought-provoking topics shaping the industry. Panels should showcase a range of perspectives and experiences, challenging conventional wisdom and sparking new ideas. To ensure audience value, a significant portion of the session will be dedicated to Q&A and interactive engagement.

Fireside chat (40 minutes)

While similar to a panel discussion, this is a conversation between a moderator and one speaker rather than a group of experts.

Product demo (15 minutes)

A presentation focused on tips, tricks, and best practices for working in a specific product.

Discussions lounge (60 minutes)

A highly interactive gathering where two to three facilitators guides a group of 50+ attendees through dynamic small-group conversations on a specific topic of interest. Prioritizing active participation and collaboration, these discussion-driven sessions do not include slide presentations.

Sandbox session (60 mins)

This session combines both a demo-style and workshop format with practical exercises. Facilitators will demonstrate live the fundamental concepts, tools, or techniques they used to solve a specific challenge in the software development landscape. This will be followed by an opportunity for participants to actively engage in interactive exercises similar to the ones demonstrated to solidify their understanding.

Workshop (90 minutes)

Similar to a sandbox session (but without the demo portion), this session type focuses entirely on interactive exercises for a deeper, more immersive learning experience. This is your traditional workshop format, where facilitators guide attendees step-by-step through targeted activities. Participants will actively engage with the material, gaining practical insights and applying concepts in a collaborative setting tailored to enhance their understanding and skills. Note: Workshops require an additional fee of $99, which you can add to your registration in the Attendee Portal.

Level 100 – Introductory

Designed for those new to the topic, these sessions focus on foundational knowledge, covering basic concepts, features, and benefits. No prior expertise is assumed.

Level 200 – Intermediate

Best suited for attendees with a working understanding of the topic. These sessions explore real-world applications, technical details, and best practices.

Level 300 – Advanced

Intended for experienced practitioners, these sessions dive deep into complex, real-world challenges, advanced techniques, and expert-level insights.

In-person

    What if your team had extra help tackling the busywork of software development? What does the next wave of building software in the enterprise really look like? In this fast paced session, we’ll explore how AI-powered agents are transforming the development journey, from brainstorming to deployment, and even how we tackle code quality. We’ll look at the evolution ahead, what to expect over the next 12, 24, and 36 months, and share real world demos showing agents co-creating code, reviewing pull request, fixing bugs, and more. All while staying inside the guardrails that matter to your business. You’ll leave with a clear picture of how AI can help developers focus on what they do best: creative, impactful work — and what “good” looks like for enterprise software development in the years to come. Oh, and yes, there’ll be a few surprises and swag hand outs along the way!!

    Tag mutability has long been a major pain point for maintainers and consumers alike. But with Immutable Releases, GitHub is introducing a way for maintainers to enforce the immutability of releases and provide cryptographically verifiable attestations for their assets. This session will cover an introductory-to-intermediate explanation and demo of Immutable Releases and illustrate how they can enable greater trust, transparency, and verifiability for everyone consuming release assets.

    Before the age of agents, tech debt often went straight from the backlog to the graveyard. While it’s important to continually identify ways to improve your services, it can be difficult to prioritize those items over customer-facing enhancements. With the introduction of AI agents, that paradigm has shifted: you can now more easily modernize and evolve your codebase, ensuring it never becomes the next legacy. This talk will cover how to embrace the process of modernizing legacy software and how to leverage AI agents, like Copilot coding agent, to keep your codebase up to date.

    When it comes to securing your software supply chain, the build process is often the weakest link. That’s where GitHub Artifact Attestations comes in. With just one extra step in your GitHub Actions workflow, you can sign anything built in GitHub Actions — a file on disk or a container image. This signature includes verifiable links to your source code and build process, so you can write policies requiring all images come from your GitHub organization, or even a specific build workflow. Start small in audit mode to evaluate policy impact, then scale enforcement across your builds — with minimal configuration and clear traceability.

    Ever asked an AI coding agent to build something, only to get code that technically works but completely misses the mark? You’re not alone. In this session, you’ll discover Spec Kit, an open source toolkit that changes how you collaborate with AI coding agents. Instead of tossing vague prompts into the void, you’ll learn how to create living specifications that guide AI to deliver exactly what you need. We’ll show how Spec Kit turns chaotic “just build it” requests into clear, testable roadmaps. You’ll see how it breaks development into four validated phases, embeds your actual requirements, and adds checkpoints to catch issues before they become costly surprises. Whether you’re using GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or any other AI agent, you’ll leave knowing how to stay in the driver’s seat—steering, validating, and iterating with confidence instead of cleaning up after the fact.

    Want to stay ahead of security risks? Come learn about Dependabot's intelligent prioritization. This session will showcase how Dependabot leverages multiple risk signals — including artifact reachability context, custom repository metadata, severity and exploitability scores (CVSS/EPSS), Copilot context, and more — to surface the vulnerabilities that matter most. You'll discover how to focus your team's efforts where they'll have the greatest impact while keeping your software supply chain secure. There will also be a live demo and you'll leave with actionable tips to integrate intelligent prioritization seamlessly into your development pipeline.
