These events provide engineers with hands-on experience in AI-assisted development, helping them integrate tools like GitHub Copilot into their daily workflows. Staying updated on AI tools is crucial for maintaining productivity and efficiency in a rapidly evolving software landscape.
The way we build software is changing fast. AI is no longer a “someday” tool. It’s reshaping how we plan, write, review, and ship code right now. As products evolve faster than ever, developers are expected to keep up just as quickly. That’s why GitHub Copilot Dev Days exists: for developers to level up together on how they can use AI-assisted coding today.
GitHub Copilot Dev Days is a global series of hands-on, in-person, community-led events designed to help developers explore real-world AI-assisted coding with GitHub Copilot. Join us for the knowledge, stay for the great food, good vibes, and plenty of fun along the way. Find an event near you and register today.
Anyone and everyone who is looking to improve their development workflow and learn something new! We have events run by and for folks from professional developers to students. Sessions cover various levels and programming backgrounds.
If it’s your first time trying out AI-assisted development, this event will introduce you to the tools and best practices to succeed from day one. If you’re more advanced, we’re excited to show you the latest tips and tricks to ensure you’re fully up to date.
Each event will feature live demos, practical sessions, and interactive workshops with high-quality training content. We will focus on real workflows you can use right away, whether you’re already using Copilot daily or just getting started. Your hosts are development experts: GitHub Stars, Microsoft MVPs, GitHub Campus Experts, Microsoft Student Ambassadors, GitHub and Microsoft employees, to name a few.
We will have training materials covering the GitHub Copilot CLI, Cloud Agent, GitHub Copilot in VS Code, Visual Studio, and other editors, and more! Different events will focus on different topics, so be sure to review the registration page beforehand.
The specific event details will vary, as each community event organizer might tweak the event to fit the interests of their local developer community. Here is a sample agenda:
All events are an opportunity to connect with your local developer community, learn something new, and enjoy some snacks and swag!
Events are now live in cities around the world starting in March. Spots are limited and dates are approaching—now’s the time to grab a seat.

Read full articleThis change reflects the increasing cost of running agentic AI models. For engineers, it introduces a metered cost structure, requiring better management of AI consumption while enabling access to high-compute agentic features without the previous hard gates on usage.
This demonstrates how AI-assisted development and specialized SDKs can drastically reduce the time needed to build functional internal tools. It highlights the shift from manual coding to high-level planning and architectural review using modern LLMs.
This highlights how AI-driven workflows and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) enable engineers to rapidly build custom productivity tools. It showcases a shift toward 'plan-then-implement' development, allowing developers to focus on architecture while AI handles the implementation details.
GitHub Copilot CLI streamlines development by bringing AI-powered code generation and autonomous agents directly into the terminal. This reduces context switching, enabling faster iterative building and automated error correction within the local environment.
