GitHub Copilot Dev Days - Toronto - #2

​Join us for the first GitHub Copilot Dev Days Canada event in Toronto, bringing together developers, educators, maintainers, and builders across education, government, and the broader public sector.

​This community‑led meetup is focused on practical, real‑world GitHub workflows, modern AI‑assisted development, and open tooling — with an emphasis on learning, sharing, and building responsibly in regulated and mission‑driven environments.

​Whether you’re working on internal tools, research projects, student platforms, or public‑facing services, this evening is designed to meet you where you are.

​Whether you use VS Code, JetBrains, Cursor, Claude Code, or any other tool in your stack, this meetup is GitHub‑centric but fully tool‑agnostic — come as you are, code how you like.
