    Boost your skills with the power of AI!

    Join us at our Helsinki or Tampere office for an afterwork session that’s all about exploring the magic of GitHub Copilot. Whether you’re a developer eager to enhance your productivity, a non-coder questioning how AI can support your daily work, or just a bit AI-curious, this event is your chance to gain a deeper understanding of how the tool works and how it can make your work faster and smarter.

    This session welcomes participants of all skill levels, led by the talented women of Eficode.

    What to expect:

    • Copilot 101: Understand the full potential of GitHub Copilot and what it can really do – from writing code to helping with documentation and brainstorming ideas.
    • Practical Demo and Best Practices: Follow our expert’s live demonstration (and you can even try it yourself with our guidance and free version of Copilot).
    • Get to know Eficode and network: Of course, one of the main goals of the event is to have some good knowledge-sharing time together, share some fun talks and relax at Eficode’s offices.

    Both events are currently full, but we will reopen registration if any spots become availale.
