​Functional Software is proud to be part of GitHub Dev Days!

​This event will focus on building with the Copilot app. It has come a long way since it's inception as a Visual Studio Code plug-in—the Copilot app is a powerful agent harness that handles long-running coding tasks, pull requests, automations and more.

​We will open with a demo of the Copilot app to show off its capabilities and then proceed with a hands-on workshop / hackathon where we use Copilot to build cool stuff.

​Preparation

​To prepare for the event, please

• ​Install the Copilot app

• ​Sign up for a Copilot subscription—note that the workshop can be completed on the Free plan

​Food & drinks

​We will be serving some light food and drinks at the event. If you have any special food requirements or allergies, please let us know at least 48 hours in advance!

​✨ Dev Days is a global, in-person community-led initiative taking place from September 1st - October 31st, 2026. The series brings together developers, enthusiasts, and local tech communities to explore the power of GitHub Copilot through practical, hands-on experiences.

​Disclaimer: this event utilizes AI credits. While the workshops can be completed with Copilot Free, it will take up a large amount of those credits, so ensure you're preserving where makes sense knowing you'll be attending this event.
