GitHub Universe returns October 28-29 at Fort Mason Center in San Francisco. The Call for Sessions is open now through May 1 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Submit a proposal or nominate a speaker at the registration portal.
Five standout sessions from 2024 and 2025 define what the conference actually delivers: Phillippa Pérez Pons on Git internals including sparse checkouts, partial clones, and reflog rescues framed as a cat's nine lives. Matteo Bianchi and Alexandra Aldershaab on secure GitHub Actions patterns with Copilot. Martin Woodward on compressing the idea-to-shipped cycle. Noah Abrahams, Ian Coldwater, Kat Cosgrove, Seth McCombs, and Natali Vlatko running Kubernetes security concepts through a D&D campaign. Each session earns its runtime because the technical content is real, not decorative.
The full article is worth reading for the session descriptions themselves. They show what a strong Universe proposal looks like: specific tooling, a clear audience problem, and a format that makes hard material stick. If you are considering submitting, that is the actual template.
