In May we're back with one of our favourite speakers Adam Cogan. Adam has spoken every year since the Newcastle Coders Group started and always brings a great presentation.

This event will be hosted at the SSW Newcastle Office.

We'd like to thank our sponsors:

* SSW

* Saphi Engineering.

About Adam's Talk - From Copilot to the Garden of Eden

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.

After the resounding success of AgentCon-Brisbane, Global AI Community proudly brings you: AGENTCAMP 2026, a flagship, in-person full-day event exclusively for Developers, coders and AI enthusiasts :)

Have you been waiting to get your hands on some working Agents?

Curious about real working Multi Agent systems?

Then welcome, to AgentCamp 2026 - Brisbane, the global initiative where AI enthusiasts and developers come together to learn, share, and grow their AI knowledge!

This will be a full-day in-person hosted event with Hands-on labs, workshops, and community expert-led sessions on Agents, Agentic frameworks, Building secure AI systems, Graph RAG, Agent Identity and Evaluation frameworks and more.

For AI nerds and hands-on developers, we also plan to have a fun Snake Bot Hack Tournament!

All participants will be provided with Azure Credentials to hack and code live in the workshops and hackathon

So power up your laptops, choose your favorite LLM IDE and Agentic frameworks, and get READY to Camp at AgentCamp - Brisbane!

AI Hack Days are community-run events for Developers or people who want to learn AI for free.

There will be something for everyone. Experienced AI developers can share ideas with other experienced developers. If you’re a beginner, then there’s plenty to learn on the day.

If you then want to build something yourself, you’ll need some of the Microsoft AI and/or Machine Learning (ML) tools already setup and installed. If you’ve never played with AI or ML before it would be good to do a little bit of learning before the day but it’s not a requirement as all experience levels are welcome.

In this workshop we will build a CRM application with Angular using components, services, dependency injection, forms, Angular modules and lazy loaded routes. We will then cover unit tests and using the redux pattern with the ngrx library. By the end of this workshop, you will have built a working Angular application you can extend into an enterprise application. You will also walk away with the source code and the course material. So, join us to learn to build great enterprise applications with Angular.

What’s included in this workshop?

• 2 days of tuition with an experienced Angular developer.
• Full course material
• Full source code for the three apps you will build for later reference and to be used as best practice ​​
