Meet the experts: if you are from an ISV or a Startup, we have reserved time during the afternoon, so you can have a 1:1 meeting with our experts, please use the field in the form above to tell us if you want to talk about a related topic with us.

Prerequisites: Please bring your personal laptop. You might need to have administrator rights to install some software locally (or you can use GitHub Codespaces, so you don't need any software installed other than a browser) and connect to the internet via Wi-Fi using a standard web browser (e.g. Edge, Chrome, Firefox). You will need an account on https://github.com and ideally an existing GitHub Copilot subscription (as an alternative, we can create a trial account during the event).
