VS Code Dev Days – Join an event near you to learn about AI-assisted development
August 26th, 2025 by Katie Savage and Cynthia Zanoni
AI has become core to the developer experience in VS Code, shipping features like agent mode, next edit suggestions, and full MCP spec support in just the past six months. We've loved seeing how the community has embraced these AI features to transform their developer workflows. But with this rapid era of change, we also recognize that there is a lot to learn to effectively use these tools. We are excited to share that, together with our amazing community, we’re running 60+ global, in-person events to re-introduce you to VS Code as an AI-powered editor and upskill you on the latest features.

What to expect from a VS Code Dev Days event?
Each VS Code Dev Days event is run by a Microsoft employee or active, recognized community member. The events are short and sweet and will typically include two lecture-style sessions and one interactive lab to put it all in practice. Here is a sample agenda:
- Introductory session: 30-45 minutes on VS Code, GitHub Copilot, and AI development from a Microsoft advocate or active community member.
- Local community session: 30-45 minutes by a local developer or community leader on relevant topics.
- Hands-on workshop: 1 hour of coding and practical exercises.
The specific event details can vary, as each community event organizer might tweak the event to fit the interests of their local developer community.
At every event, from São Paulo to Seoul, you can connect with local devs to explore the features, tips, and extensions that make coding with AI smarter, faster, and more productive.
VS Code Dev Days are open to all developers. If it’s your first time trying out AI-assisted development, this event will introduce you to the tools and best practices to succeed from day one. If you’re more advanced, we’re excited to show you the latest tips and tricks to ensure you’re fully up-to-date.
