It's that time again! Every nine months, our entire remote workforce descends on one location for the GitLab Summit. This year, we'll be in Crete, and you're invited!
Before you go off and buy a plane ticket, we should clarify that there probably isn't room for all of you on the island. But we're trying something new this Summit — we're live streaming every day to bring the experience to as many of our remote friends as possible.
Watch
We'll be streaming on YouTube. You can watch Sid and Dmitriy's keynotes, our Santorini trip, GitLab team-member-led user generated content (UGC) sessions, the 10.1 release, and our final party can all be viewed in one place.
Schedule
We'll likely make some changes to this schedule as we close in on kickoff, so please keep in mind it's a WIP!
