Imagine swapping stories with fellow developers over dinner as the Florida sun sets, then beginning the next morning with a stroll past the resort’s palm-lined walkways before catching your first session across 41 dynamic tracks. From there, immerse yourself in a full day of learning and connection. That’s the magic of Visual Studio Live! at Live 360 Tech Con, November 16–21, 2025, at Universal Orlando’s Royal Pacific Resort. 

Content-Rich Days, Networking Nights

From breakfast to late afternoon, Live! 360 delivers back-to-back sessions, workshops, and labs led by Microsoft product managers and industry experts. When the formal agenda ends, the real learning begins at evening networking events—grab a drink, compare notes with peers, or pick the brains of speakers and Product Managers of the Tools and Products you use every day. You’ll level-up your knowledge and discover how other Visual Studio users solve challenges just like yours.
