About this Event
.NET User Group March - From Copilot to the Garden of Eden with Adam Cogan
Move beyond the underwhelming 2023 "Copilot hype" to the tools actually delivering value for developers.
Adam Cogan cuts through the noise, exploring how AI is fundamentally reshaping the enterprise stack, from Copilot and Cowork to agentic workflows and CLI-based coding.
Learn how roles are shifting, which AI assistants are winning, and what an AI-integrated "Garden of Eden" looks like. Leave with a practical roadmap to build, analyze, and automate with confidence.

About the speaker:
Adam Cogan is the Chief Architect at SSW, where he’s been building and modernising enterprise .NET and Azure systems since 1990 for clients including Microsoft, CBA, and Aurecon. A long-time Microsoft MVP (Azure DevOps) and one of only a few Microsoft Regional Directors in Australia, he shares what he’s learning through adamcogan.com, frequent SSW TV interviews, and talks that blend real-world architecture with practical DevOps and delivery lessons.
Known for high-energy sessions and no-fluff opinions, Adam trains developers globally as a Certified Scrum Trainer and mentors teams on Scrum, DevOps, and scalable architecture (with a sharp eye for UX). He’s also the founder and mentor behind SSW’s FireBootCamp, and the author of thousands of best-practice “rules” that developers use to ship better software, faster.
