Come Join GitHub’s
Global Meetup
Program!

Designed to enable and support developer-run meetups who want to keep their members up to date on the latest GitHub offerings.

 

Why join GitHub’s Global Meetup Program?

Organizers interested in showcasing GitHub’s latest technologies during their meetup can request sponsorship of their event in the form of food and beverage cost coverage (excluding alcohol) or hosting their meetup in a GitHub office space. 

GitHub will also provide:

  • The option to have your meetup show up on our GitHub page on Meetup.com for increased visibility

  • GitHub-approved workshops on various product offerings, including GitHub Copilot, and self-serve video content for presentations to your audience

  • Access to a private network of other like-minded meetup organizers for community support and collaboration

  • And of course, a bunch of GitHub stickers!

We invite interested groups to partner with us for an enriching experience as we work together to empower developers globally to build more.

Sponsorship Criteria

Meetups eligible for sponsorship must be:

  • A community-organized technical community with a minimum of 50 active members

  • Run by a verifiable organizer who has been publicly associated with the community either on Meetup.com or another platform
