GitHub Dev Club - Calgary - #1

​Join us for the first GitHub Dev Club event in Calgary!

We're bringing together builders, maintainers, and developers across Calgary’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.

​What to Expect

• ​Practical insights into real GitHub workflows and modern AI‑assisted development

• ​Live demos from local engineers and community builders

• ​A friendly, social environment to connect, share ideas, and learn from one another

​​🎤 Speakers:

• ​Ve Sharma Solution Engineer - Dev Tools & GitHub - Microsoft: Building non-deterministic CI gates: Teaching your CI/CD pipeline to think

• ​Ian Reay - AI Transformation Lead - Volaris Group: Ticket Driven Development
