Azure Meetup: GitHub Copilot + Agentic AI

Rochester Azure Meetup: Exploring Practical GitHub Copilot and Agentic AI in Azure

Note that our location for this session is at Comtec Solutions!

Join us for an exciting and informative meetup where we delve into two cutting-edge topics in the Azure ecosystem: Practical GitHub Copilot and Agentic AI in Azure. This event is perfect for developers, architects, and tech enthusiasts looking to enhance their skills and stay ahead of the curve.

Part 1: Practical GitHub Copilot
Speaker: Sam Rueby, Principal Azure Architect at the Bross Group
Join me on my journey using GitHub Copilot—an AI-powered coding companion that’s changing software development as we know it. You’ll learn what GitHub Copilot is and where to find it. I will share how I began by treating it like another search engine, to iterating on tasks as it modifies entire sections of my codebase as I deploy infrastructure to Azure using Terraform and configuring Azure DevOps Pipelines. Impressed by its uncanny ability to predict and streamline my coding tasks, I now use it every day to save hours of my time. By the end of this session, you’ll know how to get started and understand how dramatically it can amplify your productivity.

Part 2: Agentic AI in Azure
Speaker: Scott Root, Principal Cloud Solution Architect at Microsoft App Innovation
Discover the transformative potential of Agentic AI. This session will cover the fundamentals of agentic AI, its applications in the cloud, and how it can be leveraged to create intelligent, autonomous systems. Scott will share real-world examples and best practices for integrating agentic AI into your Azure solutions, providing you with the knowledge and tools to innovate and excel in your projects.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn from industry experts and network with fellow Azure enthusiasts.

We look forward to seeing you there!
