From TODO to Ta-Da: Agentic Engineering on GitHub

GitHub Copilot is far more than just an autocomplete tool: it can research and plan work, run in the background, collaborate across sessions, and automate repo maintenance. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore agentic engineering on GitHub: starting with research and planning, moving into async handoffs and parallel threads, customizing and steering multiple agents, skills and plugins and GitHub Agentic Workflows.

Attendees will learn how to structure work for agents, how to customize and personalize Copilot, preserve context across handoffs, orchestrate multiple agents safely, and keep humans in control while accelerating throughput.

Scrum to Swarm: Rethinking Software Delivery for the Age of Agents

This session explores the new muscle memory software teams need as development shifts from synchronous, single-threaded work to asynchronous, multi-threaded collaboration with AI agents. Agile was designed for human handoffs, so what still fits, what breaks, and what needs to change in the daily flow of modern engineering teams?

As models and agents become commoditized, advantage moves elsewhere: high-quality context, fast review loops, strong automation, clean architectures, and the practices that help agents produce reliable results. Just as important, teams must rethink how policy, governance, and security are applied early and at scale in an agent-driven SDLC.

Through practical concepts and live demos, we will look at how agentic workflows can eliminate menial work, unlock parallel implementation paths, make long-delayed refactors and rewrites newly viable, and challenge familiar Agile assumptions around ceremonies, story points, and velocity. Attendees will leave with a concrete mental model for evolving their SDLC, team habits, and platform strategy for the age of agentic engineering.

Beyond Vibes: Getting to Production with Agentic Software Delivery and GitHub Copilot

Coding with GitHub Copilot often starts as creative experimentation full of great “vibes”. But getting real code to production requires discipline, strategy, and advanced workflows. In this practical, deep-dive session, you’ll learn exactly how Agentic Software Delivery transforms your GitHub Copilot experience into a structured, scalable process. Gain expert insights, actionable guidance, and hands-on techniques to reliably bridge the gap from promising prototypes to stable, secure and impactful production deployments.

Demystifying Models, Agents and Skills for Agentic Software Delivery with GitHub

What happens when software is written by coordinated agents instead of pure keystrokes? In this session, we’ll explore the conceptual leap from traditional development workflows to agentic, async, multi-threaded software delivery — and why the right mental model is a computer, not a chatbot.

Using hardware stack as a metaphor, we’ll show how to think about custom agents, 3rd party agents, Skills, custom instructions and MCP - and how to build the right level of governance and customization to enable an intentional and successful shift to agentic software development. We'll explore some demos that illustrate how real enterprises can adopt these patterns today and position themselves for the next decade of development.

1 hour session including slides and demos.

Keep your CISO Happy: AppSec with GitHub for the Age of AI

Your code is moving faster than ever thanks to GitHub Copilot - which is great for you, but causing your CISO sleepless nights! In this session, you'll learn how GitHub Advanced Security bridges the gap between rapid innovation and rigorous security expectations, without ruining your vibe-flow. Through hands-on demos of GitHub Advanced Security's agentic and "at-scale" capabilities, you’ll see exactly how to reduce vulnerabilities, minimize risk, and systematically eliminate security debt. Your CISO will thank you as you continue to deliver more secure apps, faster. And they'll be able to get some shut-eye...
