GitHub Meetup: Making AI Real in Everyday Development
March 12, 2026
6:00 to 9:00 PM
EPAM Office, 9 Devonshire Square | London
About the Event
AI-assisted development is evolving at lightning speed but turning all that potential into everyday wins is still a work-in-progress for most teams. Let’s change that together.
Join us for a community-driven meetup designed for developers, platform engineers, and engineering leaders who want GitHub and GitHub Copilot woven into their daily workflow, from smart migration and governance practices to hands-on AI collaboration.
We’ll take you inside our experience on delivering GitHub adoption at scale - what clicked, what crashed, and the lessons we wish we’d known sooner. You’ll also get an up-close look at how we use Copilot instructions, skills, prompts, and custom agents to build a repeatable, team-friendly approach to AI-assisted development, with Microsoft Foundry technologies helping us establish the right context for those custom agents.
Through hands-on, demo-led walkthroughs, you’ll see how we:
