MVPs Bring Community, Courage, and Code to the First NDC Toronto
Where Community Took the Stage At the first NDC Toronto, Microsoft MVPs traveled from across North America and across the Atlantic to help shape a new chapter for the NDC community. They brought technical depth, personal stories, and community energy to a new stage, connecting with developers they had only met online and sharing ideas that reached beyond demos and frameworks into the human side of technology. “Being part of the first NDC Toronto felt like helping bring that spirit back to North America while also watching it find its own character.” - MVP Michelle Frost (Microsoft) speaking at NDC Toronto about Union types in C# Why These MVPs Made the Journey NDC events have long been known for warm speaker experiences, curious audiences, and a wide range of technical content. At the first NDC Toronto, that spirit showed up through talks on .NET, web development, architecture, AI, accessibility, ethics, and the stories behind the people building technology. For MVP David Whitney, speaking at NDC Toronto meant stepping into a new city, a newly reimagined event, and a fresh audience. He described NDC conferences as “some of the warmest, best organized and fun events in the industry,” and said they give him room to share “weird, creative, cultural things” that celebrate programmers finding themselves in their work. “As an MVP, speaking at events like NDC helps me connect with my peers, and share ideas that probably wouldn’t get a stage elsewhere.” - MVP David Whitney MVP Dylan Beattie has spoken at NDC events around the world, including London, Oslo, Porto, Sydney, and Minnesota. For him, Toronto was special because it brought “the NDC roadshow to a new country” and created space for the kind of in-person connection that makes community events so meaningful. Based in London, Dylan shared that Europe is right on his doorstep, so it can be easy to forget how significant a long-haul trip can be for North American developers attending European conferences. NDC Toronto gave him the chance to reverse that journey, meet people he had only known online, and show up for the community on their side of the Atlantic. “It was great to meet people I’d only ever spoken to online; I’m based in London, so Europe’s right on my doorstep and I forget that for a lot of folks in North America, making the trip across the Atlantic is a big deal, so it’s great to get the chance to go visit them for a change.” - MVP Dylan Beattie MVP Richard Campbell saw Toronto as a natural home for a new NDC event, with its downtown location, restaurants, hotels, transit, and energized local developer community. His session on the history of .NET connected longtime developers with newer generations, tracing how the platform evolved from a Windows-focused enterprise tool into a cross-platform, open-source toolset for the cloud. Reflecting on that arc, Richard said that “talking about .NET’s past made me even more excited about its future,” because it showed the team’s ability to keep evolving .NET for what comes next. For MVP Michelle Frost, NDC Toronto was also deeply personal. In her talk on ableism in AI, she spoke publicly on stage about having epilepsy for the first time, showing how technical conferences can create space for expertise, vulnerability, accessibility, and inclusion to share the same stage. “The program was deeply technical, but still made room for creativity, live music, humor, and the parts of our work that are harder to reduce to a demo or framework.” - MVP Michelle Frost What They Carried Home The first NDC Toronto highlighted how community events help MVPs do what they do best: share knowledge, start conversations, and create connections. Richard Campbell described the value of speaking to a “huge diversity of developers using different languages and tools,” adding that a polyglot conference creates a “polyglot of opinions.” Those different viewpoints are part of what makes technical communities stronger. “Every time I speak at NDC, I leave with a tonne of enthusiasm for our industry.” - MVP Richard Campbell The event also marked a new chapter for MVP Barry Stahl, who had been named a Microsoft MVP just four days before speaking at NDC Toronto. He shared that the recognition changed how he experienced the conference, helping him feel less like someone trying to absorb every detail and more like someone who belonged in the room. “It let me stop acting like an information vacuum and start acting like someone who actually belongs in the room.” - MVP Barry Stahl That sense of belonging matters. Whether MVPs traveled from London, Kansas City, Arizona, Vancouver, Sweden, or other parts of the world, their presence helped establish NDC Toronto as a place for learning, inclusion, and community leadership. & friends taking a selfie together.

In 2026, GitHub Copilot Dev Days set out to help developers build with AI. It did that — and then it did something bigger. It reminded a global community that the fastest way to grow isn't a download link or a documentation page. It's the people around you who are building the future alongside you. Across 58 countries, 294 community-led events brought 22,042 developers together face-to-face — not just to learn a tool, but to experience turning their own ideas into working software with AI. And behind it, in large part, were Microsoft MVPs who carried that experience straight to the places where developers live, learn, and build. The People at the Center of It All Trace the success of Dev Days back to its source and you don't find a content package — you find people. Organizers pointed again and again to one advantage above all: partnership with Microsoft MVPs and GitHub Stars, who were already embedded in their local ecosystems and knew how to bring developers together around something new. MVPs organized 104 of the 301 events worldwide — more than a third of the entire global series. But they did far more than host. They recruited attendees, localized the message, mentored newcomers, and kept the conversation alive long after the last session. That's the one thing a centralized program can't manufacture: trust. When developers show up to create alongside someone they already know from their local user group, they don't just attend — they build. One Global Template, Hundreds of Local Stories A developer in Seoul had a different night than one in Kampala, Mumbai, Lagos, or Lima — yet every event stood on the same foundation. Dev Days gave organizers a repeatable “event-in-a-box” so they could stop building slides from scratch and start building community. Many remixed the content into something entirely their own. The result was a campaign that scaled globally while still feeling unmistakably local — communities from South Korea to Pakistan, Norway to the Philippines, each bringing their own character to the same goal: helping developers turn imagination into reality with AI. Voices From the Community The real proof is in the words of the people who showed up to build — from Dublin to Seoul. MVP names link to their Microsoft MVP profiles. Dublin, Ireland: Over 40 developers packed the room to explore Copilot's agentic capabilities — and the energy stole the night. “The energy in the room was unreal — great people, great conversations.” — Hugo Barona, MVP, Dublin Norway: A community-run Dev Day at Enora drew a full house, co-hosted by MVP Johan Ludvig Brattås and fellow MVPs. The loudest message wasn't about any single tool. “I intentionally didn't mention a single AI tool by name.” — Maxim Salnikov, speaker, Norway Chennai, India: 100+ developers, packed sessions, and unstoppable energy — with a hands-on build of a Social Bingo game in Agent Mode. “We're not just hosting events — we're building a movement around AI-first development.” — Saravanan Ganesan, MVP, Chennai Nairobi, Kenya: In Nairobi, developers didn't just learn — they walked out with a fully offline, on-device AI health assistant running on their own machines. “Prompt engineering is the infrastructure.” — Edgar McOchieng, MVP, Nairobi Toronto, Canada: A full house of 250+ packed Microsoft's Toronto HQ for sessions on agentic workflows and CI/CD that thinks. “AI tools are evolving quickly, but the real advantage comes from communities that experiment, share lessons learned, and help each other deepen their expertise in building AI-powered solutions through local events such as GitHub Copilot Dev Days and practical hands-on labs..” — Jack Lee, MVP, Toronto Sahiwal, Pakistan: Dev Days didn't only land in the biggest hubs. In Sahiwal, students left thinking less about tools and more about how to lead them. “We have to be the driver — not let AI drive.” — Eman Tahir, attendee, Sahiwal Manila, Philippines: Hosted by DEVCON Philippines, Manila's developers saw hands-free, agent-powered development live — led by MVP Ziggy Zulueta. “Hands-free development isn't about replacing developers — it's about amplifying them.” — Ziggy Zulueta, MVP, Manila Seoul, South Korea Two tracks and four sessions showed how one Copilot subscription follows you across every editor — co-led by MVPs Kim Jinseok and Bora Lee, with Microsoft's Justin Yoo. “The only instruction I needed was: ‘upgrade it.’” — Kim Jinseok, MVP, Seoul Why This Matters More in the Age of AI Here's the lesson under all the numbers. AI is changing how we build faster than anyone can keep up with alone. The developers who thrive won't be the ones reading every release note in isolation — they'll be the ones plugged into a community that learns and builds out loud, together. That's what Dev Days revealed. The technology opened the door; the community — the MVP who answered “wait, how did you do that?”, the peer whose idea sparked yours — is what turned a one-time demo into the confidence to build something real. In the AI era, community isn't a nice-to-have on top of learning. It is the learning. The Event Is Over. Your Creating Isn't. The best community events don't end — they start something. Dev Days as a live series has wrapped, but every workshop, lab, and resource is still live, still free, and still waiting for you. You don't need an event on the calendar to keep building. You need an hour, your favorite IDE, and the same content thousands of developers just used to bring their own ideas to life. Start (or continue) at the central hub copilot-dev-days.github.io Everything is here: 12 hands-on workshops across 6 languages and 6 IDEs. Pick your stack and build something real: New to Copilot? Start free and self-paced with the GitHub Learn Labs at learn.github.com/skills. Go deeper: the Agent Labs (Python, TypeScript, Java, .NET) and Copilot CLI workshops take you from first prompt to real workflows. Your IDE, your way: dedicated labs for Visual Studio 2026, JetBrains / IntelliJ, and Xcode. Keep the resources close Content Kit & organizer repo: github.com/github/GitHub-Copilot-Dev-Days Copilot Docs: docs.github.com/en/copilot The real secret — keep creating with your local community Self-paced content teaches you the what. Your local MVPs and User Groups teach you the how, the why, and the shortcuts nobody wrote down. Find your local User Group on the Microsoft Tech Community User Groups directory and show up to the next meetup. Follow the MVPs who hosted Dev Days in your region — they're still posting, teaching, and building. The workshops are the map. Your community is the guide. Thank You, MVP Community Every city was a different story — a local organizer who spent their evenings on logistics, a speaker who volunteered a Saturday, a community leader who helped someone build their very first thing with AI. From Nairobi to Toronto, from Dublin to Seoul, from Chennai to Manila, MVPs showed the world what community-led creativity can do. Dev Days may have started as a global initiative, but its success was built one local community at a time — and that success belongs to the MVPs who made it happen. The events are over. The community is just getting started. Come build with us. Start a workshop today · Find your local User Group · Follow your local MVPs
