A Message from the Conference Chairs

Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8 are out and share common APIs.  Add to that the industry-wide HTML 5 push, NoSQL and various enhancements to Windows Azure reaching general availability, and you can see how the whole Microsoft software development stack continues to evolve and improve.

We think there's a great way to digest these changes and seize their collective opportunity. And that's to hear about them directly from the finest expert speakers in the business, in sunny Orlando, Florida this November.

We're Andrew Brust and Rocky Lhotka, and as Conference Co-Chairs for Visual Studio Live! Orlando, we'd like to personally invite you to join us at the magnificent Loews Royal Pacific Resort at Universal Orlando, where we'll have some of the best content and speakers that you'll find at a technical conference.

We've put together a blockbuster lineup of sessions on: Windows 8.1/WinRT, Azure/Cloud Computing, Web and JavaScript Development, Data Management, Mobile Development, and Microsoft Visual Studio /.NET Framework. These sessions burrow deep into the new subjects you need to master and the fundamentals that are always important.

Plus, Visual Studio Live! is once again a part of Live! 360, which means we've worked with the other conference chairs to ensure our content is aligned with the co-located technology tracks at Live! 360. This gives you the unique chance to focus on SQL Server, SharePoint and Modern Apps in addition to the leading-edge and relevant .NET development content you've come to expect from Visual Studio Live!.

Hardcore content from independent experts isn't a luxury. With so much change in the Microsoft stack, it's a necessity. Visual Studio Live! and Live! 360 are here to help you master it.

We hope to see you in Orlando!
