Plan Your GitHub Universe 2022 Agenda Now

The GitHub Universe 2022 schedule builder is now live, allowing you to save sessions to your calendar and plan your conference experience. Most sessions will be presented live both in-person and virtually, with exceptions noted in the schedule. For those attending in person at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, your ticket includes one hands-on workshop—spots are limited, so registration is recommended once you've reviewed the workshop schedule. If you can't catch everything during the two-day event, most sessions will be available on-demand afterward.

Here's a look at some of the standout sessions across the conference's focus areas to help you get started.
