Redmond for a Week of Deep Developer Learning"},"content":{"rendered":"

A long time ago, I stood in a packed room at VS Live! and watched developers erupt in applause after a debugging demo shaved hours off a real-world problem. That was the moment I realized this wasn\u2019t just a conference\u2014it was a place where developers and toolmakers come together to push the craft forward.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m excited to announce that I\u2019ll be keynoting VS Live! Redmond 2025<\/strong>, August 4\u20138 at the Microsoft Conference Center\u2014and I\u2019d love for you to join us.<\/p>\n

This is more than just a developer event. It\u2019s the one time each year when the Visual Studio, GitHub, and Azure engineering teams open our doors, share what we\u2019re working on, and connect directly with the developers we build for. I\u2019ve already started working with the team on a set of demos that will surprise you\u2014and I mean that in the best way.<\/p>\n

\"vslive<\/a><\/p>\n

Let me show you why this is the event I never miss.<\/p>\n

Top 6 Reasons to Join Us at VS Live! Redmond<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Kick Off with My Keynote and Exclusive Visual Studio Demos<\/strong>\nI\u2019m teaming up with the Visual Studio engineering team to bring you fresh, powerful demos that will reshape how you think about building and debugging software. These are workflows we\u2019ve never shown publicly before\u2014and I can\u2019t wait to share them with you.<\/li>\n
  2. Unlock the Power of Copilot Agent Mode + MCP<\/strong>\nCopilot\u2019s new Agent Mode isn\u2019t just a concept\u2014it\u2019s live, extensible, and deeply integrated into Visual Studio. At VS Live!, we\u2019ll show you how to use it to handle multi-step dev tasks, integrate Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools, and turn GitHub Copilot into an AI teammate that actually gets things done.<\/li>\n
  3. Only 400 Spots Left for This Exclusive On-Campus Event<\/strong>\nVS Live! Redmond is intentionally smaller and more intimate than most developer conferences\u2014and it\u2019s held right here in Building 33<\/strong> on the Microsoft campus, home to the Visual Studio product team. Fewer than 400 seats remain. If you want in, now\u2019s the time to register.<\/li>\n
  4. Meet the Experts: Visual Studio, GitHub, and Azure<\/strong>\nWe\u2019re hosting a special \u201cMeet the Experts\u201d experience where you can talk directly with the PMs and engineers building your tools. No booths. No filters. Just honest, developer-to-developer conversations about what\u2019s working, what\u2019s not, and what\u2019s next.<\/li>\n
  5. Help Shape the Future of Visual Studio<\/strong>\nWe\u2019ve carved out time for a dedicated feedback session with the Visual Studio IDE team. Bring your questions, feature ideas, and wish lists\u2014we want to hear them. Your voice will help shape how Visual Studio continues to evolve.<\/li>\n
  6. 70+ Sessions. 39 Microsoft Speakers. Hands-On Everything.<\/strong>\nFrom .NET and Azure to GitHub Copilot and Microsoft Fabric, you\u2019ll get access to deep technical sessions, hands-on labs, and hallway conversations with folks who build the tech. This isn\u2019t high-level theory\u2014it\u2019s practical, real-world content you can apply the moment you get back to work.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
