GitHub Universe 2025
Fort Mason Pavillion, San Francisco, CA

Universe is the global three-day event for developers and leaders driving the future of software.
Over 100 million developers build on GitHub, making it the place where software happens. Universe is where developers, industry leaders, and brands connect to explore what’s next, share ideas, and build the future together. Universe 2025 brings attendees together for hands-on sessions, deep dives, and real conversations about shipping faster, scaling smarter, and making work better.
This year, we’re leveling up the Universe experience with even more ways to learn, connect, and build. Expect a dynamic ecosystem of partners, more stages for deep-dive sessions, hands-on workshops, AI activations, and new activation areas designed to ignite conversations and connections.
This year’s focus areas
Build faster, stay in flow
Let’s show developers the joy of working at speed —and how AI, agents, and automation positively impact engineering workflows.
Secure every commit
Found means fixed means no longer dropping everything to patch critical vulnerabilities - stay in the flow, we got your back.
Automate and scale with confidence
Code once, ship bigger, with AI, metrics that matter, and improved workflows supported by new agentic tools.
