An exclusive event for engineering leaders

A tailored experience dedicated to showcasing the potential of the GitHub platform, which enables faster software development, automated security, and the integration of AI into business workflows.

Unifying AI Software Lifecycle, Platform Engineering, and Security

The roundtable aims to explore the potential of the GitHub platform in combining AI-assisted development, platform engineering, and integrated security into a single governed experience.

Through real data, live demos, and discussion sessions, the main use cases are explored: from Copilot Agent Mode to software supply chain security, from developer experience to DORA metrics.

The event opens with a keynote on global software development trends in 2026, accompanied by GitHub Octoverse data, DORA Report, and ROI analysis of AI-assisted development.

Three thematic sessions follow with live demos and an open discussion covering Copilot & Agentic Development, Platform Engineering, and Security & Supply Chain.

The subsequent brainstorming session allows participants to map their needs, select the GitHub capabilities that can address them, and build an actual adoption concept.

It all wraps up with a shared discussion of the insights gathered and a networking lunch.
