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

I really enjoyed learning about what direction the technology is headed in and what other attendees are using/doing in their work places. VSLive! Las Vegas Attendee

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 implantable 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.
