Tech Talk with GitButler & GitHub co-founder Scott Chacon

We are switching it up for October! Join us as we welcome Scott Chacon, our co-founder and CEO (also known as the co-founder of Github), for an engaging and thought-provoking talk to kick off the evening. Stay tuned for the announcement of the intriguing topic he'll be discussing.

Talk Details
Concept over Code
As no and low code tools like Wix and AI powered and augmented tools make coding and creating faster and easier, the question of “how” to build becomes less important and differentiating than “what” and “why” to build. In this talk we will explore product design and decision making lessons learned from Scott’s time building and growing GitHub and explore how these lessons can be applied to the creative products of the future.
