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?
GitHub’s Global Meetup Program is a community engagement initiative designed to enhance GitHub product adoption by incorporating GitHub-focused sessions into existing developer meetups worldwide. We collaborate with established developer groups (e.g., language communities, cloud platform meetups, tech user groups) to make it easy for them to host GitHub-focused sessions, Copilot-powered demos, GitHub-product talks, and workshops. In return, eligible partners gain access to a variety of sponsorship options to support their meetup communities.
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.
Eligibility Requirements
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
Has hosted at least 4 events with 50+ RSVPS in the last year

Food & Beverage Reimbursement
To align value with impact, the Global Meetup Program provides a three-tiered system of sponsorship benefits. Organizers can move to higher benefit levels by delivering more frequent GitHub-focused value back to the community. For more details about our tiered value exchange, please check out our README.
If you are a Gold partner, you can request reimbursement of your meetup’s food and beverage costs below. Meetup reimbursement can be requested once every 3 months up to $600 USD/event or the equivalent in your country’s currency.
Meetup-related costs will be reimbursed within 30 days of itemized receipts and reports being verified.
