What to expect

Ready to transform how you build software with AI-powered development tools? This GitHub Copilot Dev Days online event brings together experts to explore how AI is reshaping software engineering workflows, from pair programming to autonomous agents and intelligent automation.

Hosted by Global AI Karlsruhe, this three-hour virtual session kicks off with a thought-provoking roundtable discussion: "AI in Software Engineering: Curse or Blessing?" Led by Dr. Matthias Liebeck, Alexander Opalic, and Dr. Alexander Wachtel (Microsoft AI MVP & MCT, CEO at ESC Deutschland GmbH), this conversation sets the stage for understanding AI's evolving role in development.

The event features two comprehensive deep-dive sessions designed for developers working with modern AI coding assistants:

What You'll Learn

Session 1: GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio — Dr. Matthias Liebeck, Senior Solution Architect at anyMOTION GmbH, demonstrates how to integrate GitHub Copilot effectively into .NET workflows using Visual Studio 2026. Discover practical techniques for writing, refactoring, testing, and documenting code with AI assistance. Learn about agentic coding with Agents and Instruction Files, plus battle-tested best practices for maximizing Copilot's effectiveness in production .NET projects.

Session 2: Next Level GitHub Copilot — Alexander Opalic, Developer at Otto Payments, takes you beyond basic code completion into the advanced ecosystem of custom prompts, instructions, and autonomous agents. See how to configure web applications and project structures to provide Copilot with optimal context, transforming it from a simple assistant into a powerful automation engine for complex development tasks.

This event is perfect for software developers, .NET engineers, and anyone curious about AI-assisted coding who wants to move beyond surface-level tool usage. Whether you're just getting started with GitHub Copilot or looking to unlock advanced automation capabilities, you'll gain actionable insights you can apply immediately to your development workflow.

The live stream will be available on YouTube, making it easy to join from anywhere in the world. While this is an online event, the
