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.

    As a software engineer on the GitHub Actions core team, Bassem was an early adopter of GitHub Copilot. He quickly evolved his workflow to integrate Copilot because of its clear value add. Two years later, Copilot is an integral part of how he writes and ships features every day at GitHub. From automating coding tasks to security reviews, deep dives, in-depth analyses, and discovering idiomatic ways to refactor a piece of code, Copilot has become what he describes as his "second brain." In this talk, Bassem will share some of his main use cases, and how he uses Copilot to accelerate his workflows, learn, and bring value to his team.

    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.

    In a shared responsibility model, where both developers and security and IT teams share responsibility for security, GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) plays a crucial role. But the other crucial role is that of the community manager, the person who fosters a culture of security and knowledge sharing, and who helps make sure that security measures are continuously improving. It's this combination of GHAS and a community manager that enables a holistic and robust security posture at an organization. And in this interactive group discussion, you're invited to bring your own best practices, challenges, and questions to the table — whether you're looking to enhance the technical aspects of your security strategy, the human ones, or both.
