What People Are Saying About Visual Studio Live!

Relive some favorite moments from past VSLive! events and hear what attendees had to say about their experience.

Seeing live demos of exciting - and challenging - new technologies like AI and Copilot really helped me wrap my head around them. I also appreciated hearing directly from Microsoft and GutHub and the future direction for these products and services. Michael Marshall, ABET

So much information to spark my imagination. Billy Hollis, Leonard Lobel, and Hazel Bohon were the best speakers in my opinion. Please have them back next year. Daniel J Garrison, South Sound 911

This is my first VSLive! event. I would love to return again next year because I feel like I've learned a lot and have really benefited from the opportunity to network with professionals interested in the same things I am. Marcel Mensah

I have loved learning about all of the latest offerings in the Visual Studio ecosystem from experts in the field. All of the sessions provided candid information about what is new and what is coming, but it never felt like a sales pitch. Katie Gray, The University of Texas at Austin

This conference has done a great job of getting attendees to mingle and network. I've enjoyed the talks but the social aspects of this conference has been great. I've met a lot of great people and hope to see them at future conferences. Timothy Franzke, Ascend Learning

Organization overall was top notch (from registration to events, app, reception), overall, everything was very convenient and easy to follow. Luis Henrique, Goll

I really liked that I could pick all my sessions up front and have it on a printed schedule. Didn’t have to worry about leaving a session to get to the next and hope to get a seat. Plenty of room for everyone. Kelly Hollis, ReportsNow

Learning about Open AI integration with the applications for enterprise was the best part of the conference. Hui Zhou, ERG

The best part of the conference was getting expert advice from variety of speakers, especially speakers from Microsoft. Carl Tompkins, Bestpass

The speakers were awesome. I especially liked the chance to have lunch with Bob Ward from Microsoft. What a treat! Nick Guidry, AVIBE Web Development

I like that as a new developer, I was still able to find relevant and immediately implementable tools that can positively impact my efficiency and effectiveness. Quinton Henderson, Ogden School District

I have learned a lot about Azure, VSTS, DevOps and ML from this event. I am planning to implement DevOps using Visual Studio Team Services for my organization. Chinmay Trivedi, Essar Steel Algoma Inc.

I'm blown away by the quality of your speakers and the content is very entertaining and informative. Can't wait to attend again! Isaac Sherman, Ametek

The VS Live! employees made it very easy to navigate and know were we needed to be. Any staff member I spoke to (Microsoft employee or VSLive! staff) were incredibly kind and outgoing. The speakers were knowledgeable and got to the point. Alexis Woodward, Primoris
