GitHub Copilot Dev Days - Toronto - #1
Join us for the first GitHub Copilot Dev Days Canada event in Toronto!
We're hosting with support from North Toronto Cloud & DevOps User Group!
We're bringing together builders, maintainers, and developers across Toronto's growing tech community for a night focused on modern GitHub‑powered workflows, open tooling, and hands‑on learning.
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.
