GitHub Copilot: From Zero to Hero

July 9, 2026 10:30 – 12:30 · 120 min Room Ulm (35 Seats)

What this session covers

AI isn’t just auto-completing lines of code anymore—it’s evolutionizing how we architect, build, and ship software. In this session, we’ll move beyond the basics of tab-completion and unlock the true, agentic potential of GitHub Copilot.

You will discover how to transform raw technical specifications into fully functional, production-ready applications by delegating complex workflows to AI agents. From writing the first line of code to executing seamless updates and managing deployments, learn how to treat Copilot as your autonomous engineering partner. Whether you are starting from scratch or scaling an existing system, this session will give you the practical blueprint to supercharge your development velocity.
