Previous GitLab Contributes & Summits

Over the years, GitLab has hosted team member events as both GitLab Contribute and GitLab Summit. View some times we shared!

Virtual Contribute

In April 2020, we pivoted to a Virtual Contribute after canceling the Prague Contribute due to Covid-19. GitLab team members and investors joined from around the world to enjoy keynotes, workshops, and speed coffee chatting.

In April 2020, the team had grown to 1250!*
