From Copilot to Co-Engineer: The Future of AI in Software Teams

Join us for an in person session with Ben Leane from Microsoft’s Developer Productivity team, where we’ll explore how AI-powered agents are changing the way dev teams ship code.

We’ll go beyond the “autocomplete on steroids” hype and show how tools like GitHub Copilot have evolved into full-blown Software Engineering (SWE) Agents—capable of helping with coding, testing, debugging, and even writing documentation (yes, the part everyone avoids).

Expect real-world stories, lessons learned, and hands-on demos of Copilot in action plus tips on customizing it for your workflow, keeping tech debt in check, and making AI your team’s productivity sidekick. Whether you’re a lone wolf coder or leading a whole squad, you’ll walk away with practical ways to make AI agents work for you.

Come for the future-of-coding insights, stay for the “wow, I didn’t know Copilot could do that” moments.
