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 articleParallel agent sessions boost productivity by automating multiple tasks simultaneously. Using Git worktrees for isolation, engineers can handle features, reviews, and tests in parallel without manual context switching or environment conflicts.
As AI shifts from chat interfaces to autonomous agents, developers must master new architectural patterns like loop engineering and harnesses. Understanding these terms helps teams build reliable AI-native systems while managing costs and performance.
This article highlights the shift in open-source maintenance caused by AI. It explores how to manage high-volume, AI-generated contributions while maintaining security and community trust, offering a blueprint for future projects in the age of automated development.
This article explains how to use the GitHub Copilot app's 'My work' pane to streamline task management. By centralizing issues and PRs and linking them directly to AI agent sessions, engineers can reduce context switching and improve productivity when handling complex development workflows.
