A few months ago, Taylor Blau from GitHub announced on the Git mailing list that GitHub was not planning on hosting the Git Merge conference and contributors summit this year.

I actually helped start this conference at GitHub way back in 2013 as a successor to the Git Together meeting that piggybacked on the Google Summer of Code and GitHub has been hosting it ever since.

As an alternative, a virtual contributors summit was suggested, but we thought it would be a shame for everyone who loves and works on Git to not be able to sit down and have a beer together, so we decided to partner with GitHub to help organize an actual, in person summit again this year.

Therefore, it’s our pleasure to announce that the Git Merge 2024 conference will be organized by GitButler with GitHub's support this September in Berlin!

If you love Git, work on Git or build tooling around the Git ecosystem, please join us in Berlin on September 19th and 20th for Git Merge 2024. We promise it will be the most amazing version control nerd gathering of the year.

If you’re interested in speaking at the event, the CFP for Git/version control related topics will be open until August 1st, throw your hat into the ring here:

Hope to see you there!
