Description
We are ending GitHub Universe 2026 the way it started: with the people who build in the open. Join Maggie Appleton, Martin Woodward, and Jocelyn Velarde for a final closing keynote session of open-source voices, unexpected demos, and the kind of nerdy joy that reminds you why you got into coding in the first place. Explore how community-driven software, creative experiments, and open collaboration continue to shape the future of software development.
Speakers:
Maggie Appleton, Staff Research Engineer, GitHub
Martin Woodward, VP, Developer Relations, GitHub
Jocelyn Velarde, GitHub Campus Expert, Tec de Monterrey
