Webinar What GitHub Universe Means for Agentic Development Nov. 5, 2026 | 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT
By Parker Johnston / 21 Sep 2026 / Topics: Artificial Intelligence (AI) , Cloud
GitHub Copilot continues to reshape how software development teams work, and the conversation is evolving as new agent capabilities emerge. Organizations are exploring how coding agents, agent orchestration, and AI-powered workflows can support more complex tasks throughout the software development lifecycle.
Join Parker Johnston, agentic field CTO at Insight, for a post-GitHub Universe discussion focused on what was announced, what matters most for engineering organizations, and what teams should plan for next. We’ll explore the current state of coding agents, how emerging capabilities like Agent HQ can help teams manage multiple agents, and which innovations are ready for pilot programs today.
During this session, we’ll cover:
- Where agentic development stands today, including the Copilot coding agent, delegated work, and agent access to tools and context
- How Agent HQ could change the way teams manage and coordinate multiple AI agents
- The most important GitHub Universe announcements and what they mean in practice
- Which capabilities are worth piloting now and which may require a more measured approach
- What a practical first agent pilot looks like and how to evaluate success
Whether you’re evaluating emerging AI capabilities or building a roadmap for the next year, this session will help you separate near-term opportunities from longer-term possibilities and make informed decisions about agentic development.
