Dev Days - Toronto - #3

​🔁 Dev Days — Toronto (Round 3)

​Toronot showed up — so we’re coming back.

​After the energy, turnout, and “when’s the next one?” from our first events hitting our DMs, Dev Days is returning to Toronto for a third edition, driven entirely by community demand.

​Once again, we’re bringing together builders, maintainers, and developers across Vancouver's tech ecosystem for an evening focused on real GitHub‑powered workflows, modern AI‑assisted development, and hands‑on demos.

​Whether you’re using VS Code, JetBrains, Cursor, Claude Code, or anything else in your stack, this meetup is GitHub‑centric but fully tool‑agnostic. Come as you are. Code how you like.

​What to Expect

• ​Practical, real‑world GitHub + Copilot workflows

• ​High‑signal lightning talks and live demos

• ​Honest conversations about AI‑assisted development, CI/CD, and agentic workflows

• ​A friendly, social space to connect with the local dev community

​🎤 Speakers

• ​Alex Turlov - Principal Consultant @ Alta Computing: Real World SSD with SpecKit
