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 this session, you'll dive into how global financial institution HSBC used GitHub Copilot to accelerate the migration of over 100 legacy Java APIs from Apache Camel to Spring Boot. Facing challenges around fragile code and lost institutional knowledge, the team achieved remarkable results: reducing per-API conversion time from 20 hours to under 2 hours — a 60–90% effort savings per migration— while boosting overall developer productivity by 15% in time spent coding and achieving 80%+ satisfaction sentiment across the team. The solution delivered secure-by-default improvements, with test coverage and documentation generated, scaling GitHub Copilot from a trial to 20,000+ users across the enterprise. In this talk, Ubaldo and Richard will walk through their technical approach to Copilot-assisted migrations, share the governance framework that enabled enterprise-wide adoption, and demonstrate how financial institutions can leverage AI to tackle legacy modernization at scale while maintaining security and compliance standards.

    Creating technical content is often a repetitive, ad hoc process — one that can quickly become a bottleneck for developer advocates, educators, and open source contributors. That's why this session will introduce a scalable, GitHub-powered system for building, maintaining, and automating technical content workflows using GitHub Copilot, Codespaces, and GitHub Actions. There will be practical scaling tips, common pitfalls to keep in mind (such as AI hallucinations and automation overload), and strategies for adapting the system for solo developers, DevRel teams, and open source projects. By the end, you’ll leave with a ready-to-use system for building and maintaining technical content — one that saves time, reduces duplication, and scales with your needs.

    Before Copilot can write a single line of code, you have to build trust. At United Airlines, that trust became the foundation for adoption across engineering teams. They started with small, low-risk tasks to build confidence — then customized Copilot using custom prompts, instructions, and agent mode to meet strict safety and compliance requirements. This session shares the strategies and lessons they used to make Copilot a trusted part of their workflow and how other enterprise teams can do the same in complex or regulated environments.

    How do you grow a high‑trust developer culture at scale, especially in a company where creativity and play are part of the DNA? At The LEGO Group, developer experience isn’t just a platform or a toolkit; it’s a community practice. Rasmus shares how intentional rituals, innersource patterns, and a focus on well‑being turned fragmented efforts into a cohesive, empowered engineering ecosystem. You’ll see how playful practices can coexist with disciplined engineering standards, and how shared ownership increases reuse and lowers onboarding friction. Walk away with adaptable ideas to strengthen belonging, accelerate knowledge flow, and help your own engineers feel connected, motivated, and proud of what they build.

    Heard Nordstrom's story about turning their GitLab-to-GitHub migration into a complete CI/CD redesign? Now's your chance to go deeper with the team that built it. They just walked through their Standard Pipeline approach using reusable workflows, composite actions, and agent-assisted tooling that turned months of conversion work into weeks—join them for an open Q&A where you can ask about the technical decisions, the change management challenges, and the real-world tradeoffs. Whether you're planning your own migration, figuring out how to standardize CI/CD across teams, implementing AI-assisted tooling safely, or balancing speed with security guardrails—bring your questions and get answers directly from the engineers who lived it.
